Well the truth is that FreeBSD documentation suggests using <sys/param.h> to
get hton and ntoh funtions:

BYTEORDER(3)           FreeBSD Library Functions Manual           BYTEORDER(3)

NAME
     htonl, htons, ntohl, ntohs - convert values between host and network byte
     order

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>

     u_long
     htonl(u_long hostlong);
