I don't know much about it, but I know it's possible.  I think there's
been a thread going on the list about that lately.  Maybe one of those
people could help you.  But I DO know that assembly is possible.

There IS a DOS emulator in the ports/packages collection, called pcemu,
but I believe it jsut emulates at the 8088 level.  I have heard that a
more advanced DOS binary emulator is in the works, based on Linuix's and
BSDi's emulators, but I don't know when or if this is going to happen.

Oh, sure.  Look through the FAQ at the website (www.freebsd.org); it talks
all about it.  I had a Win95 and a FreeBSD partition on a single ahrd disc
for a while.
