For FreeBSD, I'd specify versions 6.x and above. Older versions should
work down to 3.x or 4.x, but it is not worth bothering unless someone is
into retro computing. On the contrary, FreeBSD 6.x to some extent, and
now 7.x primarily and now also 8.x are tested and used regularily.

I think it's fine keeping things as are. If you prefer, we can also
make it "whatever Gerald or Loren are currently testing" for FreeBSD,
of course. ;-)
