Jeremy, I'm not sure what version of FreeBSD you are using but I'd  
like to point out that in 6.2 and 6.3-REL his version is correct and  
yours will not work.

.bashrc is not sourced on login on any of my hosts.  I have ".  
~/.bashrc" in my .bash_profile.  And I just commented it out,  
and .bash_profile environment was set up, and the stuff in .bashrc was  
not.

Is this perhaps an X versus SSH login sort of thing?  I don't know.   
We have no X environment, this is entirely logging in via SSH.
