You can use the Serenity Virtual Station:

It is a competitor to VMWare, but it supports Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and IBM OS/2 as hosting platforms.
Also, the TextMaker Office suit got rave reviews a while ago, they said it was the most compatible to MSOffice product. It runs on FreeBSD also:

As I write this, I come to realize there's no excuse really not to use FreeBSD. BSDs rocks. Linux sux. (Let me get my asbestos suit on.)

I have tried PC-BSD, I like it a lot. I stuck with Linux, just becuz it is what I know. But when I have some free time I plan to give PC-BSD a real work out. I did try the package installer that he is talking about, WOW is all I can say. It is as easy as a Mac to install software, good job!
I also liked that I could still use the FreeBSD ports system, the real neat feature of the FreeBSD platform. If CrossOver Office, and Cedgea ran on FreeBSD, I could really see my self making a total switch to PC-BSD.
