As I understand it, Oracle have "Oracle for FreeBSD" working already. Oracle's network computer division (<URL:http://www.nc.com/>) uses FreeBSD as the OS, and their network computers run Oracle. I *believe* that they aren't releasing it because they don't know whether or not there's demand (and don't want to commit the sort of resources necessary for supporting it without knowing this). Contacting your Oracle rep. and telling him/her that there is demand for it can only help the situation.
