You can set up your fbsd box to allow remote logins from the nt box.  (You
may have to snoop the ethernet here to see exactly what usernmae the nt
box is coming across as; unix is case sensitive, nt isn't.)  Then, from the
nt box,

$ rsh fbsdbox /path/to/program/or/command

I think nt comes with the rstuff by default; it might be part of the 
resource kit, though, in which cause I think you can find a pd version of
the r utilities.

Read a few things:

man rsh
man rhosts

and related files, including the parts about security considerations.
