The standard way of doing this is:
% uname -r
There's also:
% sysctl kern.osreldate
or in the special case of dealing with ports, you can just run:
% make -VOSVERSION
in any port directory.

The answer depends on what version of FreeBSD you are running.
For 4.x: add -D_THREAD_SAFE to the compile flags when compiling the
code, and add -pthread at the linking stage.
For 5.x at or earlier than about 5.2 use -D_THREAD_SAFE on
compilation, but add -lc_r to the link flags.
For 5.x after that, no extra compile flags are necessary, but you
should add -lpthreads to the link line.
The precise bounduaries where those sets of flags change can be
obtained from /usr/port/Mk/bsd.ports.mk:
.if ${OSVERSION} < 500016
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?= -D_THREAD_SAFE
PTHREAD_LIBS?= -pthread
.elif ${OSVERSION} < 502102
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?= -D_THREAD_SAFE
PTHREAD_LIBS?= -lc_r
.else
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?=
PTHREAD_LIBS?= -lpthread
.endif
