I got a somewhat encouraging response from Rackspace when I asked if they
were going to offer FreeBSD in addition to the 17 different Linuxes and 5
different Windowses they offer.

But ultimately their decision will depend on market interest.

Here's the contact info if you want to voice your interest:

A Xen expert says you could order a Windows VM and overwrite it with 64
bit FreeBSD and that will work but it's not the ideal solution.
