errno(2) in freebsd-manpages is actually an alias for intro(2). There's
still no reason to cross-reference it from a Linux man page that I can
see, but you could reduce confusion by specifically cross-referencing
intro(2) rather than errno(2). It is confusing, because, according to
Linux man page sectioning, section 2 is for system calls, and so a
cross-reference to errno(2) implies that there's a system call called
errno, which there isn't (not even on FreeBSD!).
