Running BOINC Linux applications on FreeBSD or OpenBSD
FreeBSD is now an officially supported platform for WCG. However, you will need Linux emulation installed and enabled, since the science applications downloaded from WCG are only available as Linux binaries. Source is not available for them.

The port maintainer has an excellent guide to BOINC and FreeBSD.

tdfs84 has a post explaining how to run BOINC on OpenBSD at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=16481
