FreeBSD by default uses nvi (new vi editor its own light version of vim) I would try to use that before I waist time with vim. It is included in your base distribution no need to compile. The commands are standard vi commands. For light editing you are probably better of to use ee (easy edit) the simplest FreeBSD specific editor included in distribution. This is not to say that vim doesn't work. You have to compile from ports and since I do not use vim I am not probably good person to answer your question.
