Firstly, 'pre-cum' contains very little sperm. The majority of sperm are 'released' during ejaculation. Freshly ejaculated sperm are actually immature and cannot fertilise without being primed by chemicals present in the cervix of the female.

Sperm has the ability to live inside the female body for several days, but outside the sperm will only live until the seminal fluid dries out or until they encounter some sort of toxin (e.g. spermicide which is found in some condoms). There is no answer in terms of a finite time, but say you deposit ejaculate into a cup, seal it and leave it, the sperm should still be alive in 24-48 (but weakened, and probably not able to fertilize). In the open, the sperm will die when the 'cum' or 'pre-cum' dries. In a freezer, under the right conditions, sperm will live for years, but when they are thawed will not be able to swim, and need to be implanted into an egg.
