I'm not aware of any FreeBSD native GIS software, readily available. The
GRASS suite is available in source form, and there now appears to be
active development on it again after the US Army decided to abandon it.
IIRC there's a web home page somewhere at Baylor Uni (the URL's at work
:-(). I know someone was trying to build GRASS on FreeBSD, but was having
problems. When I get some time I might have a go at building it myself.
That said, you might be able to find a Linux binary package of GRASS which
may be runnable under FreeBSD's Linux emulator.
If you get any pointers to other GIS packages (except Microstation, which
I notice someone has responded to you about), I would like to know.
I use Arc/Info on Solaris at work, but I don't see much likelihood of a
even a Linux version :-( - ESRI are moving toward being an MS-only ISV
AFAICT (they'll deny that suggestion of course, but I can't see any
evidence to the contrary).
