FreeBSD comes with /usr/bin/find.  Are you sure that your cron script 
is using the full path to that program; or perhaps you need to set up a 
PATH in the cron script...?

If that system truly does not have a /usr/bin/find, there is something 
wrong with the installation, you should probably update the system by 
building and installing world from source or from a CD.  (ISO images of 
4.11 are available on ftp.freebsd.org.  Those images also would contain 
a working find binary if you just want that alone.)
