I honestly don't know. Can you link FreeBSD binaries against static
Linux libraries and get sane results? Can a binary use shared
libraries for both Linux (via emulation) and FreeBSD?

I know you can run a Linux cross-compiler on FreeBSD with Linux
emulation and get binaries that run under that emulation. If worst
comes to worst, you could do that.
