While Perforce is available free of charge to many Open Source projects, I want
to point out that Subversion has many similarities to Perforce and is fully
Open Source itself.
http://subversion.tigris.org/
The main functional difference is that Subversion is designed to optimize
network traffic at the expense of keeping an extra (unmodified) copy of the
source. Although I don't know of a port to BeOS, it probably wouldn't be too
difficult to port if someone wanted to. It needs the Apache Portable Runtime
(APR) library and Berkley DB, and can be compiled with GCC.
