Naw. SameerH mentioned you can do the upgrade through a SD card as a fallback to the USB based method.

He should be able to copy w/e files to the SD card for that regardless of OS.

Won't be a problem. But the Kobo internal storage also acts like a USB flash card when you plug it in. So you should be able to bypass the SD card and just drag'n'drop files to the Kobo from the BSD box.

Also; it's been a while since I've played with BSD, but there is a linux version of the official desktop app, which should work under BSD with the appropriate compatibility libs.
