At least for the moment you can build them on FreeBSD as long as they are linked statically. Either that, or make sure that they link against library versions that are present in JunOS. (There may also be header file changes, so static images are probably the way to go.)

Also, don't forget that the link between the RE and the FE is a serious constraint for programs that send out data on the network. You can easily shoot yourself in the foot if you are not careful.
