You can choose one of the existing sound engines available for the NES and read their documentation. Not all effects that the famitracker can do will be usable or convertable, each engine will document their limitations which are there for performance purposes.

Now I have a .ftm I would like to add as well, Is there any routine anywhere that can run the .ftm or the asm text produced by famitracker?>

I dont want to know how the apu works, thats not my question.

That's not what nesrocks's answer was trying to say - if you look at the FamiTracker download page, the "Other" section contains links to several sound engines which are capable of playing FamiTracker's audio data (possibly with some extra processing required), but those might not support all of its features so you might need to adjust your songs to make them play correctly.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

This page seems more complete and thorough https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Audio_drivers

You want to look at the Game Replayers section, not the Tracker Replayers.
