I'm running 3.0 SNAP right now, and would be happy to give it a try
for you ;)
If Oracle was installed correctly, all you would need to do would be
to tar up the entire oracle home directory. The oracle user (group
dba) should have a subdirectory called 'product' in it's home
directory, with another subdirectory (7.3.x.x...) in it. This should
contain the binaries (bin, dbs, rbdms, orainst, etc.). Another
subdirectory (in the oracle user's home) should be admin, with stuff
like bdump, cdump, scripts, etc. But, like I said, I don't know how
they installed it.
Another way to find out where the binaries are located is to examine
your ORACLE_HOME environment variable, or look in /etc/oratab.
All the binaries are located in ORACLE_HOME, so I can just tar that up
and bring it over to another system.
It'd be no problem for me to FTP the tar file and give it try... I
PROMISE I'll delete it when I'm done...

We have an NC-server here to evaluate. (from NC corp..) (aka oracle)
It's a FreeBSD box and it has a fully native FreeBSD oracle on it..
My sugestion:
ask NC corp to sell you a NC server
get the oracle pre-installed :-)
I haven't tried upgrading to a newer FreeBSD, but My guess is that
it might work. It's NCOS 2.0 (whatever version of FreeBSD on earth
THAT actually is..)
If I knew anything about Oracle I'd have tar'd it up and tried
running it on a newer FreeBSD by now..
