One open-source project at least try to replicate the frameworks on
top of Windows:

http://www.cocotron.org/

As Mike mentioned this is not a trivial port and requires tweaks to
the target application source as well. So even if one is diligent
enough to get cocotron running on FreeBSD/Linux, the app itself will
have to be modified to run there.
