Thanks. After this, nagios makes a call to the event broker,  
determines if the plugin is a perl plugin (to use ePN if enabled),  
then forks the check_command.

Did you compile with the event broker? Is it enabled? Maybe try a  
compilation without the event broker/embedded perl interpreter.

There is (was?) a known issue with FreeBSD related to pthreads that  
may be in play (Known Issues - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html 
, Google for 'nagios freebsd pthreads'). It does specifically relate  
to the forking of check processes and a hang. I do not recall what the  
current status of that issue is but remember chatter about it either  
here or on nagios-devel. Perhaps on of the other FreeBSD users can  
chime in on that. My feeling is that it was fixed or there's a  
workaround but I don't remember specifics.
