One, this isn't a FreeBSD-specific question so it needs not be on this
list, two, your .htaccess should look like this:

-- snip --
<Location /path/to/things/to/protected>
  <Limit GET POST>
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    require valid-user
  </Limit>
</Location>

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/home/roguetr/public_html/etc/htpasswd.users
AuthName "Sammy.quicksilver.net.nz"
-- snip --
