Some other ideas...
Serenity Virtual Station (http://www.serenityvirtual.com/) which claims
to run on FreeBSD. I haven't yet tried it.

VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox) looks promising
as another open-source alternative which runs (as host) on Windows,
Linux and soon Mac OS X... could FreeBSD be far behind?
