Yes it runs on FreeBSD.

You seem to be confused.  KDE is not Linux specific, nor is probably 99% 
of the other stuff you're running on Linux.  The only stuff the binary 
compatibility layer (note I didn't say emulation, because it's not 
emulation) is used for is things that are shipped in a Linux binary for 
only.  Like Word Perfect.  Or Star Office.  Or Acrobat Reader.  The rest 
you can compile from source, or even better, use the ports collection.
