I ported Chromium to Unix in late 2009 and now offer paid subscriber builds for FreeBSD,
Solaris, and NetBSD to fund the remaining porting effort. Weekly builds from Chromium trunk and
the latest 16.0.912 stable branch are available for paid subscribers. I spin off an older release for free once in a while, currently you can get the 11.0.696
i386 and
amd64 stable builds for FreeBSD 8-stable, an
i386 build of 10.0.648 for Solaris 11, an
i386 build of 13.0.782 for NetBSD 5.1 (in compliance with the LGPL, I'll make the object files for any build available upon request), and a source port of the last stable 9.0.597 release.

You can
look over the various bugfixes and features added in the subscriber builds so far, along with open issues that a subscription funds. The subscriber builds are mostly open source and
funded by a hybrid model.
You can also compile an older port yourself for free. Contact me if you're a developer and would like to work on a particular issue. Send me feedback by emailing chromium@hybridsource.org.
The trunk subscriber builds are based on Chromium 19.0.1030r120497 and
the stable subscriber builds on the 16.0.912 stable branch. I use
the clang compiler frontend for llvm on FreeBSD, all builds have support for
WebM/VP8.
Here's a list of unreleased patches,
all the opened patches are archived.
Chromium requires Gtk+ 2, I use
Chromium's git repository.
Based on Ben's initial patches, I first built Chromium on a server graciously donated by
John Companies.
