mcopy is part of the mtools port, /usr/ports/emulators/mtools
You can install that, or you can (as root) mount the floppy as
an MSDOS filesystem:
mkdir /floppy (if it's not there already)
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
cp your.file /floppy
umount /floppy
(remember to give the umount command before removing the floppy)
