John,

I think the old free downloadable FreeBSD version of InterBase 4.0 is still
avail. at http://iblinux.rios.co.jp/intl/ (they did the port for ISC, couple of
years back).

They also have a Python InterBase Module on their site, if that is something you
fancy.

I hope you guys don't take this as pestering. Speaking for myself, and
probably most of the other BSD fans on the list, I'm pretty excited to be
able to use your product on my platform. I'd never even heard about
Interbase, but I was tired of MySQL's stripped-down SQL syntax and decided
to look at the other DBs that PHP supported. When I found the IB page, saw
its history and what it could do, I was totally floored. I'm installing
Linux on a machine right now just so I can play with until a BSD version
hits the wire. So don't take it the wrong way, it's just enthusiasm.

Yes. No schedule, no guarantees, but this is not the first
time I've heard that *BSD is a desirable platform.
