FreeBSD is an operating system, different from linux. You can
install it on the same machine on a different partition, but
not "under" linux (just as you can't run windows under linux or
linux under windows). Wine can run under either Linux or FreeBSD. If
you're interested in wine, and already have Corel Linux, probably
you should stick with linux for now and contact a linux mailing
list for further help. Note that wine is still not good enough to
run most production-quality software, unless the software has
been tailored specially for it (like the linux version of
WordPerfect Office 2000).
