I believe the OP question is:
How to run a Full blown linux OS on a Virtual Machine on FreeBSD,
and not
how to run linux binaries on FreeBSD via emulation..
As for myself, I went the other way round, as I needed to run
FreeBSD and windows on the same hardware.
Best regards.

Did you read section 10 of the Handbook - Linux Binary Compatibility?
Yes I read it Jonathan, Im newbie in BSD...regarding on my post is it
possible?
or Do you have any link so that i could much understand it aside from
freebsd handbook?
I haven't played with it at all - others (who have) may be able to help you
more than I can: I'm just going by the documentation.
As I understand it, FreeBSD will run most Linux binaries natively, as long as
you install a suitable Linux environment (libraries etc).
The easiest way to do this is to install a Linux version from ports (probably
emulators/linux_base-f8 which will install a basic Fedora 8) which will
create /compat/linux.
You then install your Linux software in the usual way.
I suspect you'll receive better offers of help if you start this process and
then let the list know where you break down.
