Nothing compatible. If you have BSD/OS, you should be able to run installsw on FreeBSD. Otherwise you'll find that the main archive is a tar file, and you'll have to extract it manually with tar. I seem to remember that there's some doubt about the base directory into which the software gets installed, but you should be able to figure it out.
