No, you can't. The "underlying" FreeBSD is userland code; not kernel
code. The OSX kernel is based on Mach.

This isn't really that useful a capability. Most commercial software
that's available for Linux is also available for OSX. Most open source
software for Linux can be rebuilt on OSX fairly trivially, though you
may need to us an X server.
