IE 7 shouldn't be that hard, well unless you want to do all the work
and set it up yourself.

IE 6 works as good on FreeBSD as it does on Linux, see:
http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/12/ies-4-freebsd-internet-explorer-50-55.html

IEs4Linux has beta support for IE 7 see:
http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/12/ies-4-linux-2990-better-than-ever.html

They will even have a GUI in 3.x releases.
Ive not tried IE7 yet, but im sure ill get around to it.

Cheers,

Tom
