Hello Dominique, First of all - I'm impressed by the number of FreeBSD users :) Nobody has ever requested the standalone distribution for ages since it existed. LuaTeX needs to support the platform (there's a fixed set of platform names predefined, but I thought that the issue has been resolved already). Taco seems to have applied a patch to resolve the issue on 20th May, but that's more recent than the latest luatex beta. Diego or Yue - maybe you should submit a more recent luatex binary to "current" to support FreeBSD on minimals?
