I would suggest to avoid creating new files with duplicated code from another
one, like KFreeBSDPlatformUtils.cpp.  This is in most cases unnecessary, and
leads to unsyncronisation, and eventualy to breakage (which will need extra
debugging effort to figure out what happens).

The following line in debian/rules points to a "linux" case:

-                sh runConfigure -plinux -cgcc -xg++ -minmem -ticu \

Is that "linux" case really linux-specific?  Or just dependant on GNUish
userland stuff like Glibc?  If it's the latter, you can probably port xerces
by just changing a pair of lines in that file.

P.S:  I'm adding CC to glibc-bsd-devel
