Research direction

Start with the FreeBSD-specific sections in CMakeLists.txt, Macros.cmake, src/dpipe.c, src/vde_pcapplug.c, and src/vde_vxlan/vxlan.c. Review the proposed changes and build the project with ENABLE_TUNTAP and libpcap on FreeBSD, then verify that the build completes and the affected tools can be configured.
