Excellent work!
I think it is ok to recommend using db5
from the Ports/packages as installing that is a breeze compared to db4.8
which is not in the Ports/packages.
Some other minor suggestions below.

I think it is ok to squash everything in one commit. |
The current FreeBSD Build documentation is a little outdated and underwhelming. This PR updates the doc to be more informative. It also adds new instructions for building the GUI and adding support for descriptor wallets. on vasild's recommendation: it is ok to point the user to download db5 which has an active port package instead of building db4 from the provided script.

Seems fine to me. It does change the document to a different style than the others, e.g. we don't use utACK c175690 |
c180c91 doc: revamp macOS build doc (Jarol Rodriguez) Pull request description: This PR makes the macOS build-docs more informative and adds in the following information: - Proper descriptions and delineation of required/optional dependencies - walk-through of optional dependencies - configuration walk-through - various other tidbits of information This is a part of the efforts done in bitcoin/bitcoin#20601 and bitcoin/bitcoin#20610 to update the docs and introduce some consistency between them. This update does not add instructions for arm-based M1 Macbooks as I do not have one to test with. It would be nice to have someone follow up with an update containing instructions for arm-based Macs. **Before/Master:** [render](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md) **After/PR:** [render](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/c180c911b88b2bd2baf2c9c2b24e276787ffb69b/doc/build-osx.md) ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK c180c91 - I still think these are getting too verbose and we're duplicating information all over the place; dependencies, configure options, combinations of options etc. However if people are happy to maintain them, I guess it's fine for now, and this revamping has already happened for some of the other build READMEs.

The current FreeBSD Build documentation is a little outdated and underwhelming. This PR intends to keep the build-freebsd.md doc up to date. Here are the main improvements:
