I don't know if it's supposed to work, but I have taken a house-built
binary from a BSDI system of that vintage, and ran it very successfully
on a FreeBSD 3.3 machine. I had installed the FreeBSD distribution
packages which give support for earlier versions of FreeBSD, back to
version 2.x, and you might need that too. I just copied the binary over
to the FreeBSD system and ran it. Success would depend on exactly what
the program is trying to do with the system.
