FreeBSD cannot read NTFS, I don't know if there are plans to teach it to (my guess is that fixing msdosfs is a higher priority). For information on using the NT boot loader to boot FreeBSD, see http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ76.html#76 I got there via the "documentation" link on the main page, which leads to a lot of other useful stuff too.
