Short answer: most probably yes.

It does not depend upon which glibc, but which syscalls / features are used=
.

If it doesn't work because of some missing linux-part in the kernel,=20=20
you=20normally have a message in the console/log/dmesg about which part=20=
=20
of=20the linux kernel is not available in FreeBSD. When this happens,=20=20
you=20either have the possibility to disable this kind of functionality=20=
=20
in=20your linux-build, or to try to implement something similar in=20=20
FreeBSD.

Bye,
Alexander.
