There are some issues with serial port handling code with FreeBSD6 that will be resolved when FreeBSD7 is promoted to mainstream. FreeBSD5 does not have this problem.
I am using FreeBSD6-Stable with an Oncore and I get PPS syc enabled and disabled messages whenever the satellite positions change throughout the day. I have never observed a pps sync disabled that is permanent unless the serial cable to the GPS is removed.
