Both OS's run FPC 2.6.0 and the exact same revision of tiOPF, FPTest and

Here is the summary of the unit test results, and the times it took in
minutes and seconds.

As you can see, consistently the FreeBSD tests take longer than the
Linux ones. The test project on each platform was compiled with exactly
the same compiler settings.
What exactly are we looking at there: 151 iterations inside a single
program, or 151 programs? Assuming the former, I think the first thing
to do is to run with different numbers of iterations to determine
whether FreeBSD is imposing a "one-time charge" or if it's an overhead
per iteration. Also it would probably be worth breaking the result out
in the standard format shown by the unix time command.
