Maybe you could suggest running FreeBSD in VirtualBox :
http://www.virtualbox.org/

It's free, open source, and better supported by FreeBSD. You can run
FreeBSD as a VirtualBox guest :
http://www.freshports.org/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions/
And run VirtualBox in a FreeBSD host :
http://www.freshports.org/emulators/virtualbox-ose/

Cheers
