It's sure it won't work as alsa is Linux specific and there is no 
support for alsa in the FreeBSD kernel.

I mark those package as dep-wait on libasound2-dev because of lack of 
time, but the solution is to not depends on libasound2-dev on 
kfreebsd-i386 (libasound2-dev [!kfreebsd-i386]) and to use OSS instead. 
Some packages may also need some modifications in debian/rules to 
disable alsa support by passing some flags to configure.
