I'm the FreeBSD port maintainer for bro.  I'm running 7.0 RELEASE (i386), and 
I'm not having a problems compiling bro.  (I just compiled it after reading 
your email.)  Make sure that your sources, kernel and ports are up to date and 
try it again.  Also, what architechture are you trying to compile on?  I'm 
running i386 SMP.

On a different note, I updated this port on request.  I don't use bro 
personally, so I'd appreciate any comments about improvements, changes, etc. 
For example, if you'd like to see more options available (we call them KNOBS), 
let me know, *in detail*, what you're looking for, and I'll work on improving 
the port further.  Since I don't know how people use the program, it's hard for 
me to know what functionality to include by default or highlight, offer as an 
option, etc., etc.
