AFAICT FreeBSD doesn't do things that way.  On a nearby machine, I see

$ pkg which /usr/local/include/readline/readline.h
/usr/local/include/readline/readline.h was installed by package readline-6.3.8

What's more likely the problem is that FreeBSD insists on installing
packages under /usr/local, but it does *not* set that up to be part of
gcc's default search paths.  (Security 1, usability 0.)  You need these
configure flags to do much of anything on that platform:

  --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libs=/usr/local/lib
