Thanks to everyone who replied.  Here is the list I compiled:

FreeNAS identifies itself in /etc/os-release as FreeBSD.

The IPFire wiki suggests user nutmon for upsmon but makes no mention of upsd.

There is a formatted version of the table at 
http://rogerprice.org/NUT/ConfigExamples.A5.pdf#section.22 Chapter 22.

I would be very pleased to hear of errors or omissions in this 
table.
