FreeBSD won't do process distribution natively. Want a project? :)

Other than that, there are other programs you can use to distribute 
applications in userspace (such as any of the MPI packages; I've had 
good experience with lam-mpi). To monitor the status of your clusters, 
you can use an application called Ganglia.

Good luck!
