Yes.

Yes.

It can but it is alpha quality. Look up WINE on the net.

Ports are a couple things depending on who you talk to. I will tell you
that they are software packages that run on FreeBSD.

You might. It's no big deal.

>-what are your X servers do you support KDE?

You have to ask XFree86 what video cards are supported. Yes KDE is
supported.

>- if I program under freeBSD will it be portable? how so?

This depends on how portable you make your program.
