Short answer: most probably yes.

It does not depend upon which glibc, but which syscalls / features are used.

If it doesn't work because of some missing linux-part in the kernel,  
you normally have a message in the console/log/dmesg about which part  
of the linux kernel is not available in FreeBSD. When this happens,  
you either have the possibility to disable this kind of functionality  
in your linux-build, or to try to implement something similar in  
FreeBSD.

Bye,
Alexander.
