It's the same system but with a name change in the triplet. "freebsd-gnu" was
renamed to "kfreebsd-gnu" in config.guess to distinguish FreeBSD's kernel
(which we borrow) from a full FreeBSD system (with its own userland).
The "k" stands for "kernel of"; I also tend to use "KFreeBSD" informally
to refer to FreeBSD's kernel.

IIRC debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk is expected to match the triplet name, and was
not parsed by the build system because not being named "kfreebsd-gnu".
If that's the case, then plase change config-os and rename
debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk too.
