There's a downloadable version of the software on the site. If that works acceptably, the final hurdle would be whether it can communicate with the programmer by USB. The site says it's USB 2.0 and installs drivers on Windows, which doesn't bode well for the Wine/FreeBSD setup. It may work, although you have to expect that any support call will blame problems on the non-standard setup. It might be easier to start with open software and choose a programmer that is supported by it. For instance, devel/avrdude supports some faster programmers. Depends on what you need.
