You need to study:The fedora_base package discussed in Section 9.4 was written to be compatible with Fedora Core 4. This may meet your needs, or it may not. There was a time when Linux emulation was important for running a number of applications on OpenBSD. Since that time, many of those same applications have been ported natively such that Linux emulation is now not so important. Because of this, many of the developers no longer have an interest in maintaining compatibility, so if the fedora_base package meets your needs, great. If it doesn't, then you will have a lot more lower-level work to complete yourself.

As for FreeBSD emulation, the story is pretty much the same. It isn't as critical now that OpenBSD has many native ports available. Nevertheless, you should begin by studying the compat_freebsd(8) manpage.

I'm sorry if you were hoping for black-&-white answers. What you will need to do is experiment & see if any of the current emulation vectors are sufficient for the needs of your application.
