The normal way is to defragment your disk and use the FIPS utility to split off the free space into a new partition, then remove it and install FreeBSD in the space. Or, install a new hard disk and install the Booteasy utility to the first disk. Booteasy gives you a menu to pick which OS you want to start on bootup. This is explained in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html, or the INSTALL.TXT file in the release directory.
