My RaspberryPi 3 arrived last night.  I’ve taken the latest RPI-2 snapshot and updated to the latest firmware.  I can tell it’s booting up, but it’s getting hung up somewhere.  I can’t tell where because the serial console is spitting out gibberish.  The serial console issue is not specific to FreeBSD.  I had the same issue trying to get the serial console working on Raspbian.  There is a thread discussing the problem here:  https://github.com/RPi-Distro/repo/issues/22.  On Raspbian I was able to get around the serial console issue by adding "force_turbo=1” to the config.txt, but that doesn’t seem to work on FreeBSD.
