Only if they are running a new enough version of FreeBSD :-)
gndrsh:root {145}# uname -a
FreeBSD gndrsh.aac.dev.com 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #0: Sat May 1 12:43:29 PDT 1999 root@br2.dnsmgr.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
gndrsh:root {146}# man loader.conf
No manual entry for loader.conf
gndrsh:root {147}#
Also no place in the 3.2 man page for loader.conf to I see anything
that talks about how to cause the kernel to load a differenct /sbin/init.
Remeber he wants to replace init, not the kernel!
