Hi,
I think the miss of responses to this email provoked your rant, so
I'll try to answer:

In general, not possible. Sugar activities are a unique kind of apps
and they relay on the services Sugar provides. It is up to the
developer to provide a standalone execution. For example, Turtle
Blocks can run in GNOME desktop.
Having Terminal or Browse running outside Sugar would not be very useful.

Sorry I don't have a clue about BSD, but I can tell you that
separating Sugar into modules and trying to run them on FreeBSD may
not be the correct path to follow if you want to support that system.
A lot of work would be needed.
