You're confusing the software version with FreeBSD's package version. You
can assume from that package version that you are running openbpgd 3.7. 

One might wonder, with 3.9 being the latest release of openbgpd, why you
would run that version. The answer is that it's probably the latest version
freebsd has built a port for. Shame.

Apps like that, I typically use them on OpenBSD to take advantage of the
latest and greatest code and avoid problems stemming from them having to be
ported to another OS [1]. As the apps are generally "young", there's a lot
of development activity on them so that 3.7 version is almost "ancient" in
comparison.

[1] For example, why doesn't carp(4) on FreeBSD support the 'carpdev'
parameter?
