    It will run. Just IDEA is not included in binary FreeBSD distribution.
    In order to use It You must include "MAKE_IDEA= YES" line in /etc/make.conf
    and rebuild world.

    >From /etc/make.conf:

    # The following controls building optional IDEA code in libcrypto and
    # certain ports. Patents are involved - you must not use this unless
    # you either have a license or fall within patent 'fair use'
    # provisions.
    #
    # *** It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to determine if you can use this! ***
    #
    # IDEA is patented in the USA and many European countries - thought to
    # be OK to use for any non-commercial use. This is optional.
    #MAKE_IDEA= YES # IDEA (128 bit symmetric encryption)
