yes, install wine in any case. you can use most windows wav editors with 
it plus you can build ardour with VST support (which needs wine)

i have sound forge in wine but haven't really used it. audacity is the 
only real equivelent of wavelab or sound forge in the linux/ *nix world, 
and practical but not so evolved as any windows version ( it is also the 
only real option in apple's osx).

like cubase there is rosegarden but mainly midi based and i'm not sure 
how well freebsd's midi is , if it even exists at the moment.

beast (ports/audio/.beast) is similar to reaktor, but the best all round 
programs i found are the old style mod trackers, where it all started 
and much more fiun to use in my opinion. my favourite is renoise, it 
that is commercial and windows version in wine so far. some free ones in 
ports are milkytracker and soundtracker.

other audio programs in ports are mixxx and terminatorx, jamin, jack-rack.

still ardour is the most professional DAW around
