Only if you compile the wrong kernel.

FreeBSD 6.0 using AMD64 SMP kernel on a Quad Opteron just plain flies.
Ports are better than yum/rpm because ports automatically fixes all broken dependencies and installs everything automatically using 1 command: portinstall apache or portinstall mysql5
Can't get any easier than that.
