It really depends.
If your setup is exotic and complex, I dont think you will ever be
able to find a guide. On the other hand, if your setup is simple (eg,
PHP+Apache+MySQL, not clustered) then the migration is so simple, you
wont even need a guide.

Your best bet is to set up a box with FreeBSD, configure it to your
liking, install the software you need, and just simply copy over the
configuration files, database files and user files over to the FreeBSD
box.
