I run FreeBSD in a a Virtualbox virtual machine on my Macbook.  It is
straightforward to have X clients in the VM talk to windows in the
native xquartz X server.

This works for me a lot better than native FreeBSD on a laptop -- my
last computer was a Lenovo X400 running FreeBSD natively, and I wasted
too much time trying to get Chrome and other third party X apps to
work.  Now I can run Chrome on MacOS, and the stuff under FreeBSD that
works better there.

Virtualbox is free, setting up FreeBSD under it is a snap, must download
an ISO boot image, and install on the virtual machine from that.
