There shouldn't be a problem, you just have to allocate a primary
partition for FreeBSD (*1) then during the install allow it to install
'booteasy' which should allow you to pick between booting 2 partitions.
Don't forget to read the handbook because you need to make sure you
go by the restriction that the FreeBSD partition be before the 1024th
cyl.
(*1) you can get a tool to resize partitions from the 'tools' directory
called fips at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools
enjoy and good luck,
