IE 7 shouldn't be that hard, well unless you want to do all the work
and set it up yourself.

IE 6 works as good on FreeBSD as it does on Linux, see:

IEs4Linux has beta support for IE 7 see:

They will even have a GUI in 3.x releases.
Ive not tried IE7 yet, but im sure ill get around to it.

Cheers,
