it is probably available on FreeBSD as a port (I do not know if it is
part of the base system).  The configure script can be told to look
for it.  For instance (from a configure output I happen to have):

checking if help files should be gzip'ed... yes
checking if you want to use zlib for decompression of some gzip files... 
yes
checking if we need to add -I option to get zlib.h... no
checking for gzopen... no
checking for gzopen in -lz... yes

But the configure script should only define USE_ZLIB if it finds the
library.
