You may wish to query freebsd-arch@freebsd.org - freebsd-fs is more
aimed at filesystem implementation rather than how the directory
hierarchy is organized on top of the filesystem.  Moving FreeBSD to
a Linux Foundation FHS standard is something that strikes me as being
more an architectural discussion, and perhaps a CC to
freebsd-standards@freebsd.org.

However, I think the answers referring you to hier(7) is certainly
a starting point.  A glance at the FHS standard seems to
also place requirements on which files and/or programs are
in certain locations and also require certain config files
are called certain things, which goes beyond hier(7).

Regards,

Gary
