There's also an old version of Calibre out there, ported to Freebsd. It's 32-bit only and is the last version of Calibre before Qt5. I infer from this that 64-bit and Qt5 are each difficult to implement.

I don't know. I'd love to use FreeBSD on a desktop, but too much stuff (drivers, applications) is not ported. Therefore my experience with FreeBSD outside the server realm is limited, and the stuff I do use on it is always in the ports collection.
