Browse the existing documentation at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html, and pick the document you'd like to add it to. If you do the writing, there are any number of people at doc@freebsd.org who would be happy to convert your work to the appropriate format. Yes, a PR is the correct format. If you want to learn how to edit the documentation, check out the FreeBSD Documentation Project Primer. :) Have fun!
