Download the images, decompress them, write them on to an SD micro and away you go. See here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry%20Pi On a Pi3B, use maybe this image: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/13.0/FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20190801-r350491.img.xz but it's ultimately up to you, just use the image designed for your model otherwise it will not boot. Just decompress the image (7Zip for Windows, xz for Linux/*BSD/macOS/Solaris) If you're on Windows, use win32diskimager, on Unix/macOS use dd. Here's a nice write-up: https://medium.com/@alexewerlof/installing-freebsd-on-raspberry-pi-using-linux-20f44abb4565 or here: https://garyhall.org.uk/free-bsd-on-raspberry-pi.html It really is that simple. Then use pkg to install packages (I would advise against using ports!)
