Well, we can start to agree that FreeBSD is not a "distro", but a UNIX 
operating system. :)
Opera is available in the ports system as 3rd party software made to work on 
FreeBSD. There are 3 opera ports, which you can view here:
http://www.freshports.org/www/opera
http://www.freshports.org/www/opera-devel
http://www.freshports.org/www/linux-opera (through linux emulation)

There are no issues I'm aware of, that's specific to the FreeBSD/Opera 
combination (no flash support is an issue with Adobe, not Opera and I got one 
bugreport in the queue, that I'm also not sure is FreeBSD specific, more 
built-in torrent application specific).
