Now you have a requirement for Wine! And you want something ready to use.
Take a look at http://www.winehq.org/site/download. The only binaries
available are for Linux. Solaris and PC-BSD. Since you have already
rejected PC-BSD and building from source is hardly "ready to use" your
choices have been defined for you.

It appears that you are right. FreeBSD is supported also, which I
don't think I've tried yet.

I might learn to do the net install just for some experience but it'll
have to wait for a bit of free time to do that.

Thanks for pointing that out. What a shame, since it looks like it
supported the wireless card, something that some of the BSD branches
did not.

One question--are the various BSDs different enough that a program
might not work on one but would on another?
