As a followup, I talked a bit more to the Debian/kFreeBSD developers and
my current understanding is that which signal (SIGBUS or SIGSEGV) is
received is determined by the version of libc the binary is run under.
So the most robust solution (from the narrow perspective of running on
different/upgraded kFreeBSD systems) is indeed to catch both signals. 
One could of course do that for FreeBSD systems in general, but don't
know what the tradeoffs are.
