Aside from your ignorance about softdeps, filesystems like XFS are only suitable for high-quality hardware like SGIs. It's not a good fit for crappy PC-class hardware (yes fanboys, that includes Apple hardware) which is what the vast majority of FreeBSD installations runs on. If you so desperately want a journaling fs, port ext3 instead.
