Yes, just treat it the same as Win95 for this purpose.

Partition your drive into two primary partitions, the first is for
DOS/Win3.1 and can be created via DOS FDisk (Just leave empty space for
FreeBSD, and be sure to use DOS fdisk, rather than Win956 or Win98
FDISK), install DOS and Win3.11, then install FreeBSD normally to the
unpartitioned space (Creating partitions in the FreeBSD installer, of
course). Install the FreeBSD bootloader to the MBR and you should be
good to go.
