Compiling Linux modem drivers on FreeBSD?

Hi,
I've ended up with a SmartLink PCI softmodem (SmartPCI561). SmartLink
provide some drivers for Linux which apparently are quite good at
ftp://ftp.smlink.com/linux/unsupported/
This comes as some source code and some object files with needs to
compiled against a kernel source tree - which looks simple enough on Linux.
I have the linux_base port installed on FreeBSD 4.9. I don't have a
Linux kernel source tree, but is it just a matter of compiling against
the Linux kernel source and linking the Linux libraries?
Even assuming it does compile, what are the chances of it actually working?
And yes, I know its quicker and easier to buy something else, and lots
of people don't like softmodems etc etc. That's not the point :-) Can
it work??
thanks
