I have a wiki installation on FreeBSD, and just found that while many expressions work ok, some do not. It looks like texvc is dependent on having a package called "amsfonts" (http://www.ams.org) installed, but FreeBSD (4.10) does not install nor provide this package. I'm trying to manually install the tarball from ams.org on my server, but so far, with no luck.
Which TeX port are you installing in FreeBSD? If you install the latex2e port, I can imagine you wouldn't get the AMS fonts. Unless you're very strapped for space, try installing the teTeX port (it's the de-facto standard TeX system), which has a lot of add-on packages.
