The build isn't the prob. I the actual version is usb at bsd broken.
From spectro/usbio_bsd.c:  

/*
        !!!! This driver is incomplete and non-functional !!!!

        BSD uses fd per end point, so simplifies things.

        No clear ep or abort i/o though, so we could try clear halt,
        or close fd and see if that works in aborting transaction ?

        Posix aio would probably work, but it's not loaded by default :-(

        Could use libusb20 API, but not backwards or cross compatible,
        and is very likely to be buggy ?

 */

And it is really broken. I have tested with 4 colorimeters and not one runs.
So I think it is better to disable the build.

Is there any hint only disable the update on kfreebsd-* and hold the old 
version? I think that in one of the next upstream releases usb are fixed.
