The new kfreebsd-kernel-headers version 0.44 is based on kFreeBSD 8.0.
This new kernel version introduce a new USB stack with a totally
different API.
This breaks the build of at least freeglut, libsdl1.2, hal and qemu, but
probably a lot more. While the long term solution is to add support for
the new API, this is something that will take time. We should find to
try a solution as soon as possible, as it starts to block package
migration to testing.
Does for libsdl1-2 help including of more headers and

?
Having 8.0 as a default should bring us usb stack compatible with libusb-1.0.
From http://libusb.org/wiki/Libusb1.0:
libusb-1.0 includes a platform abstraction layer allowing for
cross-platform compatibility. Linux and Darwin (Mac OS X) are supported in
the latest release.
FreeBSD 8 includes a FreeBSD-specific reimplementation of the libusb-1.0
API, so your applications will probably work there too. The source code
for this library can be found here.
