make -DSIGPOLL=SIGIO ?

Personally, I'd prefer that the code be properly ported to BSD,
but that's just me.

PS: Apps that rely on SIGPOLL are usually inherently broken,
since programmers who depend on SIGPOLL generally expect it
to be an even, rather than a persistant condition, and as we
all know, signals are persistant conditions, not events.
