Not an expert by any means, but what about Mono, the open source and cross platform version of the .NET framework? If you take a look at http://www.mono-project.com/Compatibility , you'll see that it's mostly compatible with .NET 4.0, and claims to be 100% compatible with .NET 3.5. Java is also cross platform and will run on FreeBSD; or, like you say, you could use Python with TkInter; there's doubtless many other cross-platform solutions that I'm not aware of.
