Bug#664548: ogre: unsatisfiable build-dependency on kfreebsd

This is because I enabled the samples, and samples need to use OIS
(formerly part of OGRE) for getting their input.

OGRE itself will certainly compile and maybe work on FreeBSD,
althought doing heavy usage of OpenGL, I don't know if in FreeBSD and
Hurd running OGRE applications is a good idea at all.

But apart from the samples, probably almost every project using Ogre
relies on OIS for input, so I don't think that getting it to compile
on freebsd/hurd flavours without OIS will be of any benefit in the
real world.

What do you recommend?

Cheers.
