FreeBSD installations are split into parts known as "distributions".
Each of these lives in its own subdirectory (like bin, src, man, etc.).
However, you will probably want more, like X-Windows, which comes under
its own hierarchy.

I think the best way to find out is to play with FreeBSD installations,
especially setting up your own FTP or NFS server and installing from it.

Browse through http://www.freebsd.org, especially the handbook and
tutorials. Searching for this type of questions in the mailing list
archives may also be fruitful.
