Yes.

On the other hand, tmux does not work. FreeBSD''s Linux compatibility
does not support epoll, but libevent's build system thinks that it does.
That stems from Linux 2.6 having epoll from the start and it being one
of the few things that FreeBSD has failed to implement in its linux
compatibility layer. It should be possible to map epoll to kqueues,
although no one has done that yet.
