Martin, 

It's not a stupid question, #1.  Are you a Linux graduate? ;-)

I think the simplest thing to do with FreeBSD 4.3 is to install the binary
package from freebsd.org:

        
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.3-release/All/freetd
s-0.51_3.tgz

with (IIRC)

        # pkg_add -r freetds

If you absolutely want the latest stuff, you might consider upgrading your
ports collection; 4.4 has a port for FreeTDS 0.52.  Otherwise, you're going
to have to understand/apply any (probably small) patches that the FreeBSD
maintainers might use to get a clean build.  Not that it can't be done or is
even hard, necessarily, but not quite as simple as "make install".
