First, check if the rules are correct in FreeBSD-current.  (You can
check this using CVSweb if you don't have a machine running -current.)
If so, then file a PR asking for the corrections to be merged from
current.

Second, check if the rules are correct in the master database at
<ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/>; (in the latest file matching the
pattern tzdata?????.tar.gz).  If not, send a note explaining the
problem to the time-zone mavens at <tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov>, preferably
with a reference to an official source.  Once the change has been made
in the master database, it's fairly simple for FreeBSD to update.
