If you want to do it yourself, you will first have to create a libmrproject port for the backend. I recommend reading up on the Porter's Handbook as well as the FreeBSD GNOME specific porting instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/. You will also want to follow some of the existing examples as well.
