FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 5.3. Their last release was on December 6, 
2004 (5.3 came out in November), so it can't be 6.X.

 From their FAQ:

-------------------
Is there a way to install FreeSBIE on my HD ?

Yes ! Since FreeSBIE 1.1 it's possible to use the BSDInstaller to 
install FreeSBIE on your hard drive, and then turn it into FreeBSD 
5.3-STABLE by means of cvsup
-------------------

But I would do what Gavin said and do a real install of 5.4. It's really 
not hard. :)
