Because BSD/OS is a proprietary operating system, they're not freely available. In other words, FreeBSD is compatible with the BSD/OS binary executable format and kernel syscalls, but you'll need to supply a complete set of userland files which are capable of actually running your binary. For example, the statically-linked BSD/OS netscape binary in the ports collection runs as-is because it has no external library dependencies.
