As Chris said, you need to enable linux compatibility in the FreeBSD 
kernel.  That means recompiling the FreeBSD kernel.  Check the online 
notes, or else Google it to see how to do that.

As an example, my wife's site at: http://www.bountifulbaby.com is Squeak 
driven, on a FreeBSD box.  My development machine is a RH Linux 8.0 
laptop, and all I do is copy the binary and image from the laptop to the 
server, and it works fine.

I've never had any problem with running Linux executables on my FreeBSD box.
