As far as I can follow from the articles I have read the exploit involves replacing the apache/lighttpd/nginx binary, this should require root privileges which indicates you have much bigger problems anyway. As Joshua's reply stated they seem to be patching apache/lighttpd/nginx so in theory at least cdorked could probably be complied for FreeBSD, however as yet I haven't heard of any cases of this happening, my guess at this time would be that the malicious binaries have only been compiled for Linux since this has a much greater deployed base to attack.
