When I need to access a flash site (and only then, the rest are ads
anyway), I simply use linux-firefox (or linux-opera) with
linux-flashplugin7. That works by simply installing those ports. No
extra configuration is necessary.

If you want to use flash with native freebsd browsers, you need to use
linuxpluginwrapper (only for FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x). The details are
explained at

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html
http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/konqueror-flash.php

If that doesn't work, please specify which FreeBSD version you're
using and which browser.
