Well NetBSD can run BSDI's binaries and FreeBSD's binaries 
FreeBSD can not run NetBSD or so was the last time I heard;however,
there is a link option for NetBSD which is supposed to produce
FreeBSD compatible binaries.

On my home machine (netBSD), I am trying to run Wine over slip right now
 -- trying to play solitaire. Wine is a linux project similar to 
Sun's WABI to run MS-Windows programs.
