It's a very hard command name to search for, but I don't think it's
normally packaged for Linux. However it's basically a single file in
the BSD tree which seems to compile and run okay under Linux, if you
go to:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/leave/
You can open leave.c then select download.
Remove or comment line 42: __FBSDID("$FreeBSD$");
Then compile and enjoy your somewhat annoying reminder utility.
