The procedure is similar to adding a disk, which is covered in the
Handbook.

You can do it from /stand/sysinstall; select Configure and then Fdisk.
You C(reate) the slice and press q; from the Label editor you can 
partition the slices and provide a mount point (and toggle NEWFS on).
Then you press w, which is a commitment.

You can put the new file systems in /etc/fstab then, mounting them
where you like.
