While FreeBSD support is important, there are no CI-as-a-service platforms that support it, that I'm aware of.

Right now, we need to manually vet each change before sending it to buildbots, because they are shared mutable environments that we can't afford to have running untrusted code automatically.  If we could switch to Travis and Appveyor, then we could let them worry about malicious code, which would allow contributors to get instant feedback, rather than waiting for reviewers to manually run the builders.

Travis does support OS X, which means that some level of BSD coverage would still be maintained.  And of course if someone could find an equivalent service that supports FreeBSD we could add it to the list of pull request statuses :).
