Only a very brave soul would attempt to build FreeBSD on Ubuntu.  What
you want to do is to download a FreeBSD VM image and boot that on
Ubuntu using KVM or VirtualBox.  Then you can rebuild FreeBSD from
source.  If you want to do FreeBSD development, I would start with the
latest 11.0 snapshot.  First just install it and follow all the
instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook to get it configured as you like.
