In other runs FreeBSD also seems to trail Ubuntu. Are there any knobs
I could try on FreeBSD?

I think the excellent results Kris got with FreeBSD were significantly helped by patching postgresql to remove setproctitle(). Other than that, from the sysbench line I see this is OLTP benchmark which should mean a lot of write transactions, and I've consistently seen much better file system write performance on Linux than on FreeBSD. No tuning can help here.
