You can run FreeBSD as a guest OS under vmware (http://www.vmware.com/) I believe, although check the mailing list archives for hints and tips, (http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists) as people seem to quite regularly have a bit of trouble making it all work smoothly. It's not free, but then nothing can be perfect. Of course, as a FreeBSD partisan, I'd suggest installing the emulators/vmware port (which is actually the Linux vmware server) so FreeBSD is the host OS, and running WinME as the guest OS, but that's just me.
