It's hard to say ALL linux software is able to run on FreeBSD. As far as I know, FBSD just emulates it. If this is what you want to do, make sure to 1) install linux_lib from the ports, 2) make sure to have the SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG options in your kernel, and 3) put linux_enable="YES" in your rc.conf file. That should do it. If you want an example application to use, install Adobe Acrobat Reader from the ports.
