In theory, cows could fly if you gave them wings. Practise is different, however. Since HP-UX has never run on the Intel platform (to my knowledge) it would be very difficult to run them on a PC running FreeBSD (you'd need a very accurate processor emulation too, which is hard work for simple processors, and a nightmare for most modern processors).
