I propose a pragmatic solution: Try running the Multibit client. i am not sure if the linux/java based installer would work,so maybe you have to build it from source. I tried it out is really fast compared to bitcoin-qt. after install it took me 15 seconds to get updated and running. Importing a private key/rescanning the blockchain was done in under 30 minutes. It requires Java 6, i think there is a distro even for freebsd. of course, you cannot do things as solomining with it since it uses SPV.
