No, the headers come from kfreebsd-kernel-headers package,
the 0.54 will be based on 8.2.

My question is "why is this capability needed in running kernel".
May be the detection of nat can be forced somehow. Or the test does not 
work on kfreebsd - see configure.ac:

AC_MSG_CHECKING(kernel NAT-Traversal support)
case $host_os in
freebsd*|netbsd*)
...

There is no match for kfreebsd*.
