There is no functional difference. It is a business difference. It is 
supported. It is also the idea that we will provide newer postgresql 
releases for all the support platforms. Like how we provide RPMS even 
for older version of Fedora.

Most people who run FreeBSD have no need for Mammoth, until possibly 
they want to upgrade via ports to a new version of PostgreSQL but they 
don't want to upgrade FreeBSD.

Sincerely,
