Ok, first of all, I haven't run FreeBSD binaries in emulation, but this is
what works for the Linux ones...

install the shared libs relative to /emul/FreeBSD.  do a chroot to
/emul/FreeBSD.  ldconfig there to make the cache for the FreeBSD emulation.

exit the chroot shell, and try running it.  Good luck
