You don't need to repartition completely. FreeBSD can use the ext2fs
from Linux. I think your / and /usr filesystems must be of type UFS,
but if you've got more filesystems (i haven't saved your mail thus
don't know the disk layout), you should be able to reuse them.
Note that FreeBSD has a different opinion about partitions and slices.
