Click can be run in either user-mode or kernel-mode.

If Click can work on FreeBSD in kernel-mode (which was the case when
the XORP-Click support was added couple of years ago), then XORP
will be able to use Click. You might want to check with the Click
folks whether there is any recent activity of getting Click working
on FreeBSD in kernel mode.

I guess Click will work in user-mode on FreeBSD so you can try this
solution.
