It seems the required software for accessing perforce repositories is
available in ports:

/usr/ports/devel/perforce

I haven't tried it myself though. I don't even know if
perforce.freebsd.org allows anonymous access.  You can however read some
details on it here:

If you do try, it please send a follow up post with results.
