There's nothing special about installing Unreal on FreeBSD (leastwise I haven't experienced any yet), it will compile and run just as fine as on a Linux system. The only thing you should know is, type "gmake" instead of "make" when you are about to compile, because Unreal requires the GNU version of the make utility.

I'm 99% sure you are trying to decompress a package inappropriately (you can't simply untar a .tar.gz file like that, you must use the 'z' option, too, like so: 'tar -zxf file.tar.gz'). For more information, see http://www.gzip.org/ -> How can I extract a tar.gz or .tgz file?
