I am not aware of any Teredo implementations for FreeBSD 4, though.

That is required, since Teredo is defined as a last-resort. In RFC3484, that
can only occur if it defined as a different label with low precedence. Teredo
is absent from RFC3484 only because it predates Teredo (RFC4380).

In practice, Teredo-capable Windows IPv6 stacks, Linux kernel (>= 2.6.17.2)
and glibc (> 2.5) all have a separate Teredo entry.
