Care to explain this blanket statement? Or are you relating to FreeBSD 
that does something strange to be that way?

I've found DBD::MariaDB a 100% drop in replacement - even for MySQL 
users, it is backward compatible (it actually forked out of DBD::mysql 
v4) and it was designed to just drop in and change the DBI calls to it. 
This is on Linux, but I find it hard to imagine that *BSD's would be any 
different.

We are doing just that here with no other changes, zero issues on dozens 
of administrative scripts that use it (including users/host management).
