Okay, this is a previously-unknown issue in pycryptopp. The previous
problem you reported was in PyCrypto, which is maintained by someone
else and it isn't clear to me how we can make sure that it is working
on FreeBSD. This problem is in pycryptopp, which we maintain, and we
have a process for ensuring that it continues to work on FreeBSD after
we fix it. However, this process involves a volunteer running a
buildslave on FreeBSD for us.

Anyway, the next step for you is probably to edit
cryptopp/rijndael.cpp line 78 and replace <malloc.h> with <stdlib.h>.
:-)

Please let us know if that works!

I've created http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp/ticket/39 (compile
failure on FreeBSD due to malloc.h header moved).
