First of all, I want to clarify that I'm myself a Linux user so I can't actualise this suggestion all by myself. 
Xonotic will be opensource and developed for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. Of course, these 3 OS's consist about 99% of market share. However, I would like to see the official builds for eg. FreeBSD and (Open)Solaris (and maybe for other operating systems). Why so? It's true that, thanks to opensource, Xonotic will be definitely ported to FreeBSD and maybe to the other platforms. However, this will be done unofficially and those binaries will just appear on FreeBSD's repositories or similar way. This leads to occasion, that most of Xonotic players will never even know that this game is available for *insert OS here*.
Some may think: "Why bother?". This is my answer: Providing official builds for rarer OS's will lead to community approval and advance the popularity among the users. When FreeBSD (or other OS) users notice that Xonotic is officially supported for the OS which they love, it will sure enhance sympathy for Xonotic. And top of that, people who don't use these rarer OS's will definitely think "Wow, these guys support those rarer OS's, they must be damn good." When, for example, FreeBSD user is running an unnofficial port of the game on his/her machine, it's like Linux user running World of Warcraft on Linux with Wine. It works, but there's always feeling like "this is not official, this is just a some kind of 'hack'".
This suggestion is not impossible and should be kinda easy to actualise. All we need is 1 (or 2, or three) devs who will port the game to OS they want. As far as I'm considered, this action does not even require much work. It's enough that Xonotic is primarily developed for Windows, Linux and OSX when there is just one guy who will do the porting process. And of course, we need a appropriate download section for these binaries. So there will be a nice feature in Xonotic with a little work - supermultiplatformgame.
At this very moment, I would suggest that there will be official builds for these operating systems: Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, FreeBSD and (Open)Solaris. If you think that there should be more (or less), then please, say it.
Edit: I made a poll about this.
