The listener is a pretty critical piece of the Oracle system so I'd say there probably isn't a suitable way to run Oracle on FreeBSD at this point, which really sucks.

Sign me up for whatever campaign we can engage in to make Uncle Larry come to his freakin' senses and port a native FreeBSD version.
