CUDA and FreeBSD: can linux kernel module be ported to FreeBSD?

NVidia CUDA toolkit (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) 
contains a lot of rpms.

The kernel module rpm nvidia-kmod-375.26-2.el7.x86_64.rpm actually 
contains linux kernel module sources. The rest of rpms contain binary 
userland utilities.

So if somebody could port those kernel sources into the FreeBSD kernel 
module, CUDA could be used over the linux emulation level?

Is this true, or there are some other hurdles?


(I didn't expect to find kernel module sources when I looked, hence this 
question.)
