well if you have used the GUI bits of unixODBC to set it up once, you
should just have to copy the contents of /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini and
/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini onto the new box. Its only a text file, so you can
make any changes you need to the files.

Can't you run a X server on the SuSE system and just telnet to the FreeBSD
box, set your DISPLAY variable and do it that way (assuming the X Libs are
on the server)
