Comment 1:

I am currently unable to test the FreeBSD/386 binary distribution, but I would like to
see it provided in a FreeBSD native package tools format. This will make it easier for
people to install / upgrade in the future.

Comment 2:

Just tried on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3/i386 with following procedure:
1. untar ... ok
2. run go version ... ok
3. run go test -v -short ... ok
4. run go test -v ... two issues detected, filed as issue #3225 and issue #3226.

FreeBSD codepic.nfshost.com FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p5 #11: Sat Dec 24 01:38:45 UTC 2011
untarred to ~/go, 
tested go version, go get, go install, executed sample programs from
github.com/ajstarks/svgo:
webfonts > /home/public/webfonts.svg
bubtrail > /home/public/bubtrail.svg
svgdef > /home/public/svgdef.svg
test by visiting 
http://codepic.nfshost.com/webfonts.svg
http://codepic.nfshost.com/bubtrail.svg
http://codepic.nfshost.com/svgdef.svg
all working as expected.
