I'm on my umpteenth nagios implementation on FreeBSD and I've never had 
a problem installing. However, I note that the OS version is old (Legacy 
Release is 6.3 and Release is 7.0) and I suspect that the package may be 
newer than the OS and not supported on this version or architecture.
I normally use the ports system which will build the application for the 
installed system. To do so you must first ensure that you have the ports 
tree installed, see 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html.
Then
cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios # for version 3
or
cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios2 # for version 2
or
cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios12 # for version 1.2

then type:
make install clean
This will either build the correct binaries for your machine or fail if 
the port is not supported on your architecture.

Please note: I have only ever used FreeBSD/nagios on 32 bit intel Intel 
so YMMV.

Steve.
