After you have installed FreeBSD, the port "skeleton" will be in 
/usr/ports/sysutils/grub.  To build the port, make sure you've got an 
Internet connection set up (it can either already be on, or set to -auto so 
the connection will start when needed), then as root cd 
/usr/ports/sysutils/grub && make install clean.

Once the port is built, you will need to type info grub and read the 
documentation thoroughly.  That will tell you how to install GRUB as 
your bootloader and configure it to your liking.
