No. FreeBSD is very good in building from source. The ports system
makes sure it is. Building on solaris often means removing of linuxism
in Makefiles or software that *only* compiles with GCC (stupid).
Plus you need an up2date building environment like a recent version of
Nevada (the developers edition from februari is very good).

If you want bleeding edge packages you do something like "pkgadd -i
package" and everything (including all depts) are installed. This is
using Blastwave. It takes some extra diskspace but with modern prices,
who cares..
