There are a number of prerequisites that you need to install before
you can build XSD from source. For more information, see the build
instructions for UNIX:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/projects/xsd/extras/build-unix.xhtml

I suggest that you try to use the xsd+dep package which includes all
the prerequisites except Boost and Xerces-C++ which you will need to
build and install separately (unless you have already done so).

This is expected: you are trying to run a Linux binary on FreeBSD. We
currently do not provide pre-built binaries for this platform so you
will have try and build the XSD compiler from source. Let us know if
you run into any problems.
