ok, there is a way to build webcit on freebsd again:
./configure --disable-nls
after you've installed svn from ports, all other stuff needed will be there.
though we still have a serious problem getting the internationalization work:
it will search for locale_t, which on linux the glibc brings to you.
We could use some help of more bsd'ish people to solve this issue.
which headers of the system should provide this type? on linux it's /usr/inculde/locale.h, its glibc.
i've found similar looking stuff in /usr/src/contrib/libstdc++ on freebsd, but i must admit, i'm not that familliar with all this bsdish mechanisms, i don't know how to install it ;-)
saadly you have to bootstrap webcit on linux, because of the ports bring a verry poorly done installation of the autofoo shit, that falls appart on many points, regarding libtool, aclocal, autoreconf...
I've made a monkey out of myself in #bsdforen.de trying to get some help on that, but instead of trying to get that propperly configured and installed on the system, i've experienced them spitting at these tools.
My personal opinion is, that the bsd ports don't install it properly, and if the port maintainer would fix those issues, there would be much less trouble. just my 2ct.
