You will not find this yet.  The KDE project is working on an 
application called Kexi, that is similar to Access in that it is a 
desktop database system (using a very small, lightweight SQL backend).  
There is a similar commercial application from thekompany.com, but I 
have no idea if it would run on FreeBSD, even under Linux compat.

Gnumeric.  OpenOffice has one as does KOffice.
