    There are some serious problems with FreeBSD 4.x's thread support
    that cause Apache's worker MPM to fail in strange and horrible ways.
    It is possible to force Apache to build the worker MPM under FreeBSD
    4.x,
    but you have to hack around the safeguards we put in that disallow this.
    Even if you manage to get it to work I'd completely avoid it for
    production
    machines. I've heard good reports from people running worker under 5.x
    though.

    For more details about the problems, take a look at the STATUS file
    in the apache-2.x tarball or in CVS.
