The difference here being, DF branched from FreeBSD in the 4.x days and we're
at 7.x now, (and 4.x has been "retired" a while), whereas PCBSD is based on a
currently supported FreeBSD release.
Generally, we'll help where we can, but DF is significantly different from
FreeBSD versions this day in many respects.
