brandelf in terminal

If Darwin is supposed to be a BSD distribution, is there a way to get brandelf to run linux binaries? (One binary I have in question is supported and able to be run in BSD by brandelf -t) And if so, where can I find a copy of brandelf?

brandelf only works as long as the underlying architecture is the same, e.g. BSD on a ix86 machine can run Linux ix86 ELF binaries. However, you cannot run an ix86 binary on q PowerPC architecture. You need an emulator (VPC) to do so.
