Move from Solaris: ARM 64 Bit

Hey all

I've been thinking of switching my x86 Solaris out with ARM 64 Bit and FreeBSD.
Now i know i can migrate my striped-mirror ZFS to FreeBSD.

So to get to the point.
I take advantage of Kernel Zones on Solaris (Routing, Firewall, Web Access and Web Page etc.) and from time to time need access to Windows Server VM.
But Solaris doesn't support ARM hardware (and probably won't).

I'll be replacing both server and Workstation.
I haven't used FreeBSD before, but guessing it won't be fundamentally different.
I know Solaris is maintained by Oracle but does that mean FreeBSD isn't as "polished"?
And can i get same functionality with FreeBSD as i currently have with Solaris?

I'm a fairly adaquate C/C++ programmer, will it be rather difficult to customize the kernel to only support my current hardware?
If so, are there any "industry secret" guide on how to do it?

gnunet-arm

GNUNET-ARM(1)						      General Commands Manual						     GNUNET-ARM(1)

NAME

       gnunet-arm - control GNUnet services

SYNOPSIS

       gnunet-arm [options]

DESCRIPTION

       gnunet-arm  can	be  used to start or stop GNUnet services, including the ARM service itself.  The ARM service is a supervisor for GNUnet's
       service processes.  ARM starts services on-demand or as configured and re-starts them if they crash.

OPTIONS

       -c FILENAME,  --config=FILENAME
	      Use the configuration file FILENAME.

       -e, --end
	      Shutdown all GNUnet services (including ARM itself).  Running "gnunet-arm -e" is the usual way to shutdown a GNUnet peer.

       -h, --help
	      Print short help on options.

       -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL
	      Use LOGLEVEL for logging.  Valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR.

       -i SERVICE,  --init=SERVICE
	      Starts the specified SERVICE if it is not already running.  More specifically, this makes the service behave as if it  were  in  the
	      default services list.

       -k SERVICE,  --kill=SERVICE
	      Stop  the  specified SERVICE if it is running.  While this will kill the service right now, the service may be restarted immediately
	      if other services depend on it (service is then started 'on-demand').  If the service used to be a 'default' service,  its  default-
	      service  status  will be revoked.  If the service was not a default service, it will just be (temporarily) stopped, but could be re-
	      started on-demand at any time.

       -s, --start
	      Start all GNUnet default services on this system (and also ARM).	Naturally, if a service is demanded by a default service, it  will
	      then also be started.  Running "gnunet-arm -s" is the usual way to start a GNUnet peer.

       -I, --info
	      List all running services.

       -v, --version
	      Print GNUnet version number.
