Of course... those aren't Linux apps, they work flawlessly on lots of operating systems (even on Windows!). Add mplayer to that and lots of other closer-to-the-hardware apps. Java also works fine and native. Anything you see on the ports collection will work, generally only closed-source apps need Linux emulation. Open-source ones run native. Even lots of closed-source apps run just fine in Linux emulation. Some vendors even provide FreeBSD-specific software, such as the nvidia driver for FreeBSD.
