just in case, i would like to avoid using something that's
version-dependent if possible... that seems to work though.

anyone see a problem with this (assuming that version numbers will
always be x.x)?

case $(uname) in
[...]
        FreeBSD)
        MY_REV=$(uname -r | sed "s/-.*//")
                if [[ $MY_REV == 4.<6-> ]]; then        
                LSCOLORS="dxfxBxcxbxegedabagacad"
                else
                LSCOLORS="3x5x2x3x1x464301060203"
                fi
        alias ls='ls -GF'
        export LSCOLORS
        ;;
