Hi Mike,

I have never heard of win4lin, but you might find wine just as useful.

Here's a snippet from the pkg-descr: (in case you don't have bsd up and 
running)
"Wine is a Microsoft Windows 3.1/95/98/NT/2000 emulator running under Unix
on i386 (and compatible) CPUs.

It is still alpha quality, but is definitely making progress. Most
applications already work, more or less, including even a couple of games."

The port directory is emulators/wine.

Hope it works for your app.s,
Peace,
Clayton
