It might be an idea to flesh out your question a bit. FrontPage runs on
MS Windows computers and is used as a graphical development tool for
websites. It includes some synchronisation stuff that depends on having
a webserver to talk to that understands FrontPage. Web servers are often
to be found on some form of unix, including FreeBSD. There is an apache
module which is in the FreeBSD ports collection to add frontpage
extensions to an apache server. With this, you can use FrontPage as your
development tool and run the website on FreeBSD.

If, on the other hand, you want to use a FreeBSD desktop and are looking
for a good graphical website development tool, you might try Quanta.
This is also in the ports.

If you need to clarify your question, please do so.

Peter.

Or nvu might be worth a try as well, it's also in ports.

In what respect?

There are server extensions available for FrontPage that will run under
FreeBSD with Apache web servers. Both Microsoft itself and Ready-to-Run
Software, Inc., produce such extensions.

The client portion of the product runs only on Windows, as far as I know.

Of course, professional webmasters use simple text editors and FTP
clients to build web sites, so you don't really need FrontPage at all if
you are planning to do serious web development. There are lots of text
editors and FTP clients available for FreeBSD.
