It depends. If they don't use too many linuxisms (stuff that is only
present in Linux but not on other Unices), they might work on FreeBSD's
Linuxulator. Just give it a try. Your binaries MIGHT work out of the box.
Install the appropriate linux-* ports and kldload the linux.ko kernel module.

However, if they require (and provide) a custom Linux kernel driver
module to complement their userland program, you're out of luck...
unless you choose to run it in a virtualized environment... say, like
a CentOS guest in a VirtualBox running on a FreeBSD host.
