No, FreeBSD definitely doesn't have Ghostscript or Motif by default.  An
argument could be made that ghostscript will be installed on most FreeBSDers'
machines that are installing xorg (I would disagree, but they should use ports
anyway, where dependencies like that would be handled automatically), but
HasMotif defaulting to YES is definitely not an option.

Few people have Motif installed, and I think that "At least almost everybody has
it installed" should be a requirement for Has* to be set by default.  I have a
hard time convincing myself that the default HasExpat for FreeBSD is even
justified, and just about everyone has that.  The HasMotif thing seems to be
especially and issue because as far as I know you're going to need your xorg
installed to be able to build motif...
