Hell Russ,

Thank you for your interest !

ncf should work on BSD; we didn't test it throughly on this platform 
(there may be linux:: condition that ought to be less strict though).

However, we do not have BSD package for Rudder; but since we are based 
on CFEngine and FusionInventory, and they both work on BSD. We have a 
procedure to explain how to install rudder-agent on a system, without 
packages ( http://www.rudder-project.org/foswiki/Development/AgentBuild 
), based on this you could install rudder-agent on your managed systems.
