Yes, that entry is there.

/bin/sh tlpgk/installer/config.guess tells:

x86_64-unknown-freebsd7.0


Being a Perl illiterate I nevertheless dare to guess that the '$' in 
the regexp of
         $guessed_platform=~s/^x86_64-(.*)-freebsd$/amd64-$1-freebsd/;

kills it.

It would work if config.guess would give: x86_64-unknown-freebsd.
