Can Portage be used as a package manager with anything other than Linux? 

I like some features of Portage; think it might be better than FreeBSD ports or NetBSD pkgsrc, or is just a case of the grass being greener on the other side?

I like the option "--with-bdeps=y", wish FreeBSD's synth and poudriere had that option.

But I don't want to use Portage where it would be incompatible.

Portage's assumption of location of python binary and /bin/bash are contrary to anything non-Linux, or even a Linux that uses another shell such as dash or mksh.

Yes, it used to be, but from what I know the *BSD projects were abandoned due 
to lack of maintainers.

Have a look here for historical references in this effort:
