Have you tried Wine?  I have updated the port over the last two weeks,
just one patch (ports/18877 in GNATS) is missing.

There have been rumors concerning SMP versions of FreeBSD not working
and it probably won't compile without a tweak (remove '#define trace
_nc_trace' from /usr/include/ncurses.h) on -STABLE and -CURRENT, but
hopefully the folks responsible for ncurses will fix this soon.

Please let us know any experiences you've made!
