You might want to see if you can get XSP running using Linux emulation.
(This may take lots of work, and I have no real experience with this sort
of thing - my skills in Linux emulation are focused on getting games to
run (-: ).

You might want to try mod_mono -
http://www.mono-project.com/contributing/asp-net.htm - or Apache::ASP
(only supports ASP.NET pages written in PERL) -
http://www.apache-asp.org/syntax.html as both of these plug into Apache
(not sure which version).

Also, try asking on freebsd-questions at freebsd.org as there are
much more knowledgeable people over there. All the information above came
from a thirty-second think and a few web searches :-) so it could well be
wrong.
