What exactly do you mean by "clustering"?

There are different resource available, depening on what network service
you need to cluster.  mod_backhand for Apache allows multiple web servers
to act as one (for example)

Last I looked, everything that I found available for Linux was also
available for FreeBSD, but it's been a little while since I've explored
the concept of "processing farms".

If you state what you're trying to accomplish, it will give folks a
better idea of how to answer.
