For one of the ActiveX sites I regularly have to visit (a stupid thing which calls itself a "Helpdesk Web Application", but is in fact nothing more than a thin ActiveX wrapper around a very bogusly designed problem report database), I usually connect to a Windows machine through rdesktop. I'm not sure if there is a *good* way to run IE on FreeBSD, but if you do have a Windows machine around, the net/rdesktop port is a very cool utility to have around :)
