5.0-RELEASE is currently slated for this November, but don't bet your
business plan on it. I think it's likely to get pushed back specifically
because of the SMP stuff. It's already been pushed back a year, and the
economic problems of the world are biting into people's budgets for getting
around to working on FBSD.
In all honesty, right now, as it stands, if I absolutely 100% needed Oracle,
then the reasons for needing it would also stand for needing Solaris. Either
take a long look at what you need, or just hold out and wait for Oracle to
release 9i as a native FBSD build that runs on a decent kernel (say,
-CURRENT around October time).
