The generic BSD kernel does not enable PPS support by default. You must recompile to enable PPS.

The page you quoted says the following in the section "System software customization" (about 45% down the page in the Software section):

System software customisation

Need to add one line to the Kernel configuration:

    options PPS_SYNC

and recompile the Kernel. On my 133MHz/48MB system this can take several hours. Note the configuration suggestions below before you recompile the kernel.

But that was FreeBSD 5.4 and some six years ago. Note that I did not make the same remark about FreeBSD 8 - so whether that does or does not need recompiling is something I don't currently know.

Cheers,
David
