Thanks, that helped - boot -s produced clear hint:
GEOM_PART: partition 1 has start offset below first LBA: 11 < 64
I changed it so it looks like this
=> 64 195371504 ada0 APM (93G)
64 262144 1 freebsd (128M)
262208 52166656 2 apple-hfs (24G)
52428864 1600 3 apple-boot (800k)
52430464 10485760 4 freebsd-ufs (5.0G)
62916224 1600 5 apple-boot (800k)
62917824 10485760 6 freebsd-ufs (5.0G)
73403584 10485760 7 freebsd-swap (5.0G)
83889344 111482224 8 freebsd-ufs (53G)
now, and it works again. First entry in table is actually just a
placeholder so no free area is here :) This map was initialized with
Disk Utility from Mac OS X, and for some reason when created four
partition there were four 128 MB free areas. I deleted all entries but
apple-hfs partition 2 and divided the disk the way I saw fit at the
time, and as the first free area was layed with beginning at sector 11
so I did it this way - I still now not that much about all the fine
details of this.
Anyway, this way I have three bootable systems, Apple's Mac OS X,
FreeBSD 9-PRERELEASE and FreeBSD 10-CURRENT with first being currently
the default system, FreeBSD 9-PRERELEASE being selectable from Apple's
OPT boot menu, just last one is not directly bootable from here - disk
image is show, but when selected, first freebsd-ufs partition is used
for kernel and root filesystem, so I can boot it now from Open firmware
console only, but it is not that bad, and some solution surely could be
found. I know I need to modify second apple-boot partition, but did not
yet get well into its details (I found something in the archive, so
hopefully it will not be that hard, again).

Milan
