Ouch.  Please correct me here, people:

DOS:  yes with dosemu, not very well tho.  Last I heard we are working 
with BSD/OS to port over their 'rundos' system.

Windows 3.X:  Yes? with Willows or Wine.  

Win95:  No way as of yet, AFAIK.

Don't expect 100% compatibility with any of these.

Any reason you'd want to punish yourself by running DOS programs under 
FreeBSD?
