No. You need one DOS partition table entry, that is (in DOS parlance)
partition 1-4. This translates to FreeBSD slice 0-3.

/dev/hda3 seems to be available. Swap and all the other stuff will be
maintained inside the DOS partition 3. Unfortunately, some
repartitioning will be needed: FreeBSD wants its root partition to fit
completely into the very first GB of your boot disk.

Alternatively, you may install FreeBSD onto a second disc.
