FreeBSD ABI Specs

I have read the term ABI over and over but I have never really seen a spec.
It seems the System V ABI is indeed used with different versions for 32 bit and 64 bit Intel plus Itanium has its own.

Here they note that there are small differences between Mac, Linux and FreeBSD

More practically FreeBSD documents much in the source.
/usr/src/kern/syscalls.master

There does appear to be a dead link in the handbook for the DRAFT AMD64 ABI pdf
