That depends on the kind of object file you have.  XENIX had a whole
lot of different object files.  You can execute COFF files with the
SCO iBCS emulator, but you're pretty much out of luck for x.out
files or 16 bit files, which are closer to Microsoft format.

Read the online handbook, read the messages that go by on this mailing
list, or buy my book "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition
(http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm).
