Hello, 

FreeBSD is not supported. That said, you could have a look at this solution, which is used to install nrfutil on the Raspberry Pi:

sudo apt-get -y install libusb-1.0-0-dev sed
pip3 install click crcmod ecdsa intelhex libusb1 piccata protobuf pyserial pyyaml tqdm pc_ble_driver_py pyspinel
pip3 install -U --no-dependencies nrfutil==6.0.1
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

This solution is found under Thread Border Router in the latest documentation of NCS.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
