Forgive me, but

why in the world would you want to use the FreeBSD bootloader if you're 
just using 2k?

As for the boot loader itself, I don't know a convenient way of 
installing it without FreeBSD, since several files are dependant on 
FreeBSD actually being installed.

If you just want to be cute and have a different bootloader, you may 
want to look at the GRUB from the Hurd project.  I think it may be able 
to bootstrap from fat32 or ntfs; don't quote me on that.
