I don't think there is any real penalty in PostgreSQL for having it on. I don't know what the operating system overhead is on FreeBSD.
More to the point: the overhead if any is all at the libc level. If your libc is such that there isn't any penalty for thread support (perhaps better stated "you pay the overhead whether you want it or not") then go for it. I believe this is the case in recent Linuxen, but I don't know the state of play in BSDen.
