There's no version of WP available for BSD-based systems, I believe. 
There's various System V versions around, but it's not open-source, so
that won't help you. Your best bet would be to buy the "Server Edition" of
WP 8 for Linux, which includes, along with the modern X version, a
character-based version that resembles the classic 5.1 version. You could
then run this with the linux emulator. It costs about $500, though.
