ColdFusion is a commercial package very similar, in concept, to PHP. So that covers database integration and the usual dynamic web stuff. I do know of an ISP running CF on Linux but not on FreeBSD. Of course, it might be worth considering changing from Cold Fusion to PHP, or even Zope, but this might not be viable if they have existing apps writting in Cold Fusion.
