You may wish to query freebsd-arch@freebsd.org - freebsd-fs is more aimed at filesystem implementation rather than how the directory hierarchy is organized on top of the filesystem. Moving FreeBSD to a Linux Foundation FHS standard is something that strikes me as being more an architectural discussion, and perhaps a CC to freebsd-standards@freebsd.org. However, I think the answers referring you to hier(7) is certainly a starting point. A glance at the FHS standard seems to also place requirements on which files and/or programs are in certain locations and also require certain config files are called certain things, which goes beyond hier(7).
