Me and zmedico actually already changed that to read something like 'if
not in ["FreeBSD", "Linux"]:', last night zmedico also committed
something not to perform the pty_eof check on FreeBSD, as it seems to
work for Gentoo/FreeBSD people.

You can try to resolve the problem by removing the "FreeBSD" from the
list in $EPREFIX/var/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py:3882, same
place haubi's patch added AIX in the older Portage
