Is Win2K on a different hard drive than FreeBSD?  If so, then to use the 
FreeBSD bootloader, you must install it on both drives.  GAG, which has 
been suggested, is a nice bootloader, and the FAQ on the FreeBSD web site 
has some directions to boot both FreeBSD and Win using the NT/Win2K 
bootloader.

That's 3 options, should be enough to find a solution that works for you.
