Yes, the FreeBSD port provides patches to enable ICAP client support,
due to popular demand. ICAP support is not enabled by default, though.

The ICAP client patch does or rather did remove that line. It's a bit
difficult to tell because the ICAP code and the patch look like they are
now developed against Squid-2-HEAD sources which seem to have diverged a
bit from Squid-2.6, especially in client_side.c. The problem I am facing
is that the patch used to touch clientReadRequest() but now touches
clientTryParseRequest() instead (which is only present in Squid-2-HEAD
it seems).

I have updated the ICAP patchset I provide for FreeBSD to not remove the
commSetTimeout() call in client_side.c:clientReadRequest(). The updated
patch will be available in the FreeBSD ports collection alongside with
Squid-2.6.STABLE11. I have just submitted the update request, so it
should be available within the next few days.
