FBSD linux stuff isnt really that different from native.  There are some
symantic differences but not a lot in terms of performance.  Because the
systems are close enough its mapping stuff more than creating a virtual
machine.

Now, it does require kernel stuff to support the linux binaries, so
there is that issue.  Most likely it wouldnt have to be ported, and if
so it should be fairly trivial to do.  Its more a matter of recompiling,
and there are a lot of groups/individuals that dont like to do that for
every BSD variant...  If all you have is the linux binary you may want
to try that and plead and beg for a fbsd version, but at least you would
have something :)
