If your Debian box is equipped to burn an iso image to CD, you can:
use ftp, wget, curses, lynx, a browser - whatever you have handy
-  to grab the iso, burn it to CD.

It is a 'liveCD' as well as an install cd. Prowl around in it. Cvsup is 
on it.

If you like what you see, go ahead and find space (or an extra HDD, even 
an old one)
and install it. pkg_src -rv {package} is used in much the same way as 
Debian apt-get.

DragonFly coexists with Linux dual/multi-boot just fine, and will give 
you far
better perfomance, less grief, and lower risk of surprises in your Linux
installation than trying to run it in an(y) emulator.

HTH,
