I've also tried adding FreeBSD to the _is_unix_like_platform() list in
roslib/network.py but that made roscore incapable of starting (on a
64-bit little endian machine):

That will definitely require it's own branch of logic. That code is trying to do the appropriate ioctl incantation to get the full interface list, which is very platform specific. BSD/OSX/etc... have their own settings that I'd happily accept a patch for.  It's a bit of a soft fail, regardless --  ROS by default tries to use the hostname instead of IP address, and the main purpose of that logic is for generating warnings.

The fallback case seems to work fine.
