Yes, works in 9.2-STABLE Server amd64 builded in 2014.

As I have additional disks, I removed the disks with FreeBSD 9.2 
installation and put new ones in the machine and installed FreeBSD 12.1. 
Firebird was installed by ports. I also tried pkg.

I didn't tried this but i think it's not a good idea because of icu 
package dependency. fbintl.so depends on icu 66 as you can see below:

Dynamic section at offset 0xc8b6c contains 33 entries:
  Tag        Type                  Name/Value
 0x0000001d RUNPATH              Library runpath: [/usr/local/lib]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libicui18n.so.66]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libicuuc.so.66]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libicudata.so.66]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libm.so.5]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libthr.so.3]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libc++.so.1]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libcxxrt.so.1]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libgcc_s.so.1]
 0x00000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libc.so.7]
 0x0000000e SONAME               Library soname: [libfbintl.so.1]
 
I also couldn't say if the i386 package would use the system's ICU 
libraries or come in the package because I never did this type of 
installation. I don't really know how to do it.
