TeX Live 2010 will support FreeBSD (i386 and amd64). It will work out
of the box for FreeBSD 7 and 8. The TL development tree is frozen now
and the release will be out during summer.

If you can't wait, you can use TeX Live 2010 pretest, it's pretty stable
and most likely identical to the release:

  http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html

If you need binaries for FreeBSD<=3D6, please visit these pages:

  http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/TeXLive-Devel/bin-r19416/

(r19416 is TL2010 build).

A reply to all people that wrote about how big TL is: TeX Live is a
_distribution_, not a single piece of software. It has its own package
manager, tlpkg. You can use it to remove anything you don't need after
install. The TL installer supports installing various "schemes". If you
need a minimal TeX, you can choose scheme "minimal", it's actually much
smaller than teTeX.

Please read TL Guide, it's very useful and can answer all your
questions:
