The attached patch does indeed allow compilation to finish. 
There is a problem linking to pthreads

I can work around this by "configure --enable-pthread", but I suspect
the right fix is to add a stanza for GNU/kFreeBSD to src/configure.
I'm a little baffled how this file is maintained, though. Is there a
corresponding configure.ac somewhere?

All the best

P.S. with --enable pthread racket3m bus errors out, but one problem at a
time.
