I bet the answer is something like "Get FreeBSD up on it or work with
someone who can help you do that."

It's a catch-22 just like GPU - unless ${COMPANY} has customers using
it, they're not likely to dedicate resources, and no users will use it
if it doesn't work, so .. who will break the cycle. :)
