Assembly under UNIX isn't the same as it is under DOS, since you have
other programs wanting to use the CPU and you can't muck it up for them.

You can't use Microsoft Assembler bits since tehre is no MASM for FreeBSD.
If there was, there'd be no NT.  :-)  

gcc does allow inline asm, but again, it's a different format.  Check out
the info system for gas docs or contact hackers@freebsd.org.
