Docker for Windows and Mac both operate by running a Linux VM, and running Docker within the VM.

An equivalent approach in FreeBSD would be to implement docker commands to spin up a Linux VM in bhyve and run the container inside it. That has been brought up several times (and summarily rejected by some people here), and is a different thing from FreeBSD kernel supporting Docker containers.
