I installed the linux_base port to enable Linux compatibility. And here is what happens:

Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad1s1e 17714 2438 13858 15% /home

/home has 13GB (there about) free.

I start the client:

(read the DISK line)

[S: archon@arthur: ~/seti/BOINC] $ nice -n 19 ./run_client &

When an update happens this occurs:

Any ideas?

The wrong memory detection with the Linux boinc client on FreeBSD is a known problem. This is the cause, that you did not get any work.

Why do you not try to install a FreeBSD binary ? There are binaries from Stefan Urbat available and from the FreeBSD ports. But I am not shure if the new binaries will work on FreeBSD 4.11.
Btw. why did you not upgrade to a recent OS release ?

The server is in production and I'm very wary of upgrading it. When I refresh the hardware I'll be updating the OS.

But you could try to use the FreeBSD binaries, or build the BOINC client and the SETI app from the ports collection.
