The question is the other way around, more like "Will FAT32 work on a
FreeBSD system?".  The answer is that it's currently in early
implementation stages.  If you want to experiment with it, grab it
(from the FreeBSD-current distribution).  If you want solid software,
wait.

FreeBSD *is* UNIX, except that the lawyers won't let us call it that.
Yes, if you get UNIX software in source, you can compile it for
FreeBSD.  If you get it in object form, it depends on the UNIX system,
as it does on any other UNIX system.
