That is most definitely not true. Look in the cvs repository for one
such file, say
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/compat/linux/linux_emul.c?rev=1.21;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup
which is distributed under the BSD license. The GPL does not allow that,
so everything is rewritten.

The same is true for NetBSD, which has a strict "no GPL in the kernel"
policy, and I presume FreeBSD has so too.
