Since Java is available FreeBSD (the Sun JDK 1.1.5 is available at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/jdk115/jdk115/), I would
believe any of the Java Mobile Agent Facilities should work on FreeBSD.
In the case of Voyager, the UNIX version is simply a compressed tar file
containing the Java archives and sample sources, which is just as easily
uncompressed and unpacked as any other tar archive...

In particular, I briefly used Voyager 1.0.1 on a previous JDK (1.1.2?) on
my FreeBSD 2.2-stable machine last fall.  I only tried compiling an
example Voyager agent class without actually executing it or a Voyager
server, but it should have worked had I tried executing it. 

Good luck,
Guy Helmer
