It's certainly possibly in theory, but I don't know that anyone has
ever tried it in practice.

In generaly, it works fairly well with large commercial user
communities. However, the FreeBSD community is another issue
entirely. While I don't speak for them, I'm sure the folks at Perforce
would be more than happy to help make this it a workable solution for
the FreeBSD project.

I don't think so - to many people have problems with using
closed-source tools.
