When implemented properly on Intel hardware, you should be able to run nearly any PC-based operating system on CompactPCI as though it were a standard PC. We've run FreeBSD on Ziatech hardware (uniprocessor only) and have enjoyed a very good relationship with them for some time. Ziatech is also the original innovator of of CompactPCI. They might be willing to arrange for compatibility testing for FreeBSD. I'll ask.
