Is it possible, when booted into FreeBSD, to run Linux programs from an actual Linux installation, instead of the Linux-emulation ports?

User would have both FreeBSD and Linux installed on hard drive, and might possibly

mount -t ext2fs /dev/<linux-partition> /compat/linux

I noticed there was a Gentoo Linux port, but one could just as well download from Gentoo mirror, or use a different Linux configuration.
