Does a86 even work on FreeBSD?  The homepage seems to suggest that
it's a program written for DOS and/or Windows.

Moreover, since a386/d386 are not freely available (the home page has
links for `online orders' and `multiuser licenses') and a port does
not already exist to FreeBSD you don't have many options, apart from:

a) Pester the developers of a86/d86 and a386/d386 to port their
   software to FreeBSD.  Then buy it :)

b) Use some other assembler, that is freely available under FreeBSD.
