There is no easy way to do this without already having FreeBSD running. If you want to make a bootable Zip on a running FreeBSD system for use as a recover/backup disk or for use on another machine, you can do it without an inordinate amount of work. If you want to download an image from a website to have a ready-to-go FreeBSD OS, I am not familiar with such a beast.
