Your question is Off Topic, since its not a problem with FreeBSD itself. If you already got VirtualBox running on FreeBSD, you only need to tell VirtualBox which is your iso file, from where it will boot the CentOS installer, beign this the netinstall ISO you must be sure your VirtualBox VM has a NAT or Bridged NIC, inorder to the installer can reach the Internet. Beyond that you should read CentOS install documentation and when in doubt ask in the CentOS support channels.
