I have heard people speak well of:    FreeBSD Systems 
  at:    http://www.freebsdsystems.com/
In fact, you can buy a fully installed FreeBSD 6.1 server from them.
But I have not tried them or know anything otherwise.

Another company called:   Iron Systems
  at:    http://www.ironsystems.com/index.asp
claims FreeBSD compatibility.   I don't know much about them.

Prices for both sites appear competitive.

There are probably others out there.
