I've been using this in /etc/rc.local (on OpenBSD though, but should be
the same on FreeBSD):
# writing dmesg to file
if [ -x /sbin/dmesg ]; then
export BOOT_TIME=$(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S");
echo -n ' dmesg'; /sbin/dmesg > \
/var/log/dmesg/dmesg_$BOOT_TIME; gzip -9 \
/var/log/dmesg/dmesg_$BOOT_TIME
fi
