Just saw this.. There is a new kid on the block called. Serenity Virtual
Station, very similar to VMWare, but they have just released a version
specifically for FreeBSD.. This is beta software, (not free), and although
I have not tried it with FreeBSD yet (all my FreeBSD boxes currently are
servers), I have it running on one Linux box... it works <g>  Perhaps this
might be an alternative for you.

and here for FreeBSD specific info
