The IDE doesn't run under FreeBSD. I worked on it a bit over this
summer when the most recent Kylix came out, and it appears to rely on
too many Linux-isms.
The command-line tools work just fine, and produce binaries that are on
par with the ones you get from Linux. If I remember from my testing,
the compiler produces Linux-style ELF binaries.
Getting the Kylix IDE to function on FreeBSD has been one of the ongoing
hair-pulling tasks I undertake every few months. The installer alone is
a pain in the ass, since it performs "compatibility checks" in such
Linux-centric ways as hard-coding /bin/bash into the shell scripts, and
searching for shared libraries by name from hard-coded paths. (GTK
especially gives the installer fits because FreeBSD's gtk library has a
-x11 at the end of the name.) But once you work around those issues
with some creative symlinking and script editing, the console tools
install fairly painlessly.
