If the -lcrypt warnings occur in -gui and/or -back, it's an 'inherited' warning from -base. base/SSL to be specific. Those warnings can be fixed by specifically linking -lcrypt.
I don't understand that ... the crypto stuff in base/SSL is building a bundle. This is not linked into the rest of the code, so adding -lcrypt to other code should have nothing to do with it, any required libraries should have been linked into the bundle when it was built (or the build should have failed). Also ... the bundle is typically not even loaded unless your code tries to access an https URL, so even if the linking of libraries into bundles is going wrong somehow, it seems unlikely that anything to do with this bundle is causing errors in the gui.

I found that call deep inside gsnd ... but the warning was from linking
gpbs ... so I guess it's from some other external library. Of course that
doesn't mean that gsdn should not be fixed, I think it should.
and mktemp() is used in NSData. Those should not be used as they pose a security risk (see warning)
NSData does not use mktemp() unless mkstemp() is not provided and the warning suggests that mkstemp() is available on the system. Perhaps configure is failing to find it, or NSData is not using it and the warning is from elsewhere.
So, while I have no way of checking what the differences of a BSD system are, my inclination is to disbelieve the suggested causes of these problems ... I'd like to see more detail to back up an alternative diagnosis (or justify the diagnosis somehow) and provide a patch we can apply to get bsd stuff working better
