eselect modules shouldn't call "readlink" directly. There are path manipulation functions like canonicalise() available, exactly for the purpose of avoiding such portability issues:

Reassigning to package maintainers.

We have a proposed fix over in bug #552156 but I'm not a BSD user. Can you please give that patch a try and let us know if it works?

I believe this has been fixed and an ~arch version is in the tree (unmasked). If you still have problems, don't hesitate to reopen this bug!
