While tex and latex from the TeX Live 2011 tree run on simple tests on
FreeBSD 8.0 i386, xdvi does not:

	% xdvi story
	/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "librpcsvc.so.4" not
	found, required by "xdvi-xaw"

The build was done on FreeBSD 7.0, but 8.0 has only these:

	% ls -l /usr/lib/librpc*
	-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 27980 Apr 14 18:32 /usr/lib/librpcsec_gss.a
	-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 26600 Apr 14 18:31 /usr/lib/librpcsec_gss.so
	-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 26600 Apr 14 18:31 /usr/lib/librpcsec_gss.so.1
	-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 45768 Apr 14 18:32 /usr/lib/librpcsvc.a
	-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 33596 Apr 14 18:31 /usr/lib/librpcsvc.so
	-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 33596 Apr 14 18:31 /usr/lib/librpcsvc.so.5
	-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 47912 Apr 14 18:32 /usr/lib/librpcsvc_p.a

A check of all of the executables in the bin directory show other
libraries that are missing on 8.0:

	libGLU.so.1
	libfontconfig.so.1
	libglut.so.3
	libncurses.so.7
	libreadline.so.7
	libz.so.4

If someone with FreeBSD 7.0 i386 can send me a URL (or failing that,
an attachment) for a bundle of those libraries offlist, I'll see
whether that solves the problem, and report back to this list.  It
would be nice to have a distribution that worked on multiple FreeBSD
versions.
