i think it would depend under which linux distro you are running 
emulation from.  if you are using the c7-linux packages to supply the 
rest of the linux binaries for this program, I'd grab the CentOS rpm for 
x86_64 (assuming your system is x86_64 and not arm).

there is also work happening on getting debian and ubuntu working under 
freebsd - not sure about its availability on 11.4, but i use it for GUI 
apps on my workstations:

the nice thing about this method, is once you've bootstrapped your 
debian environment you can chroot into it and run "apt-get install blah" 
and it all pretty much just works.

this is covered in the handbook here:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/linuxemu/
see section 10.2.3 "Intall a Linux RPM Based Application".

tl;dr is use the rpm2cpio package in conjunction with cpio like so:
rpm2cpio < /my/file.rpm | cpio -id

the above trick works well on linux btw :)
