You can link MySQL on FreeBSD 4.x against the LinuxThreads library,
which avoids a few of the problems that the native FreeBSD thread
implementation has. For a very good comparison of LinuxThreads versus
native threads, see Jeremy Zawodny's article FreeBSD or Linux for your
MySQL Server? at http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000697.html.

Are these thread issues resloved in FreeBSD 5.3 ?

This is one area that the FreeBSD 5.x branch set out to address. I can't
comment on MySQL specifically (I use PostgreSQL), but I haven't seen any
complaints about MySQL performance under FreeBSD in a while.

Yes. The above text is out of date and only applies to 4.x and older.
