I think this discussion is pointless. No "project" depends on conda/anaconda, because a package manager, in Python, is a means of deployment at most. If indeed you have some project that comes with a conda environment description (or dockerfile or whatever) then all you need to do to make it run on BSD is figure out a way that works on BSD. Of which there are certainly many. It's really just that conda environments are pretty damn convenient for Windows and Linux in the context of numerical libraries.
