In principle, i hear, that exists peoples, that run Oracle under
SCO emulator.
1. turn on ibcs2
2. get SCO libs.
(Linux guys have sco_libs on their ftp servers, I forgott where,
may be on Oracle site in Australia)
3. copy entire directory structure (/usr/oracle7) with all permissions
to FreeBSD.
(create appropriative users)
4. Copy startup scripts and /etc/oratab
(be carefull with permissions)
5. Try to run.

If you will try, please, tell me about results.

On Oracle ftp site in Australia (where live unofficial Oracle FAQ) you can
find detailed instructions about setting Oracle on Linux.
I think, that it will be the same for FreeBSD.
