I do not think it is necessary for FreeBSD, as we do have "ports" there.
All you usually do is a "make install" in the appropiate directory,
and than you are done.

How to organize this in the Extensions manager? Either you have 3
(or for if solaris, or 5 if netbsd, ...) Extensions for the same
thing, or you have to say: Windows only extension, etc. pp.

IMHO I would stay with the TYPO3 standards, and put them in the
extension repository, and provide a link and an install script
for the appropiate systems on a different machine.

The extension is great, no probs under FreeBSD ;-))
