People who desire more native apps for FreeBSD need to talk to the
vendors in question, not wait for some mysterious 3rd party to do the
convincing.  Somebody mentioned sybase, for example, and I've gotten
some interest from the Sybase folks in the past when we've discussed
the matter, but it always comes down to one thing: Customers.  They
want to talk to potential customers who will be voting with their
wallets for the product, not some OS vendor who's simply trying to
argue that it would be A Good Thing for them to do it.

This goes double for vendors who won't even talk to the FreeBSD.org
folks but are always interested when a big customer comes walking
around asking the same questions.
