Nope but you can run it under emulation - see the Handbook.

You should check out MuPAD.  

	http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/MuPAD/

It's free for non-commercial institutions and there's a FreeBSD package
for it at MuPAD.  

I've used it a little bit.  It's not a perfect replacement for my uses for
Mathematica, but it's still nice.
