Short answer: BootMagic will work with FreeBSD--I remember doing it awhile back when I used it. Longer answer, and not really answering the original question: These days, FWIW, I use Grub which I find quite easy to configure and use--I usually use a Linux version of it, however, I've also at times, configured FreeBSD's version (available in ports) without problem.
