I'm cc'ing freebsd-questions which is the best place to ask technical 
questions.

These have worked well for me:

   Copying a data CD:   dd bs=2048 if=/dev/acd0c of=duplicate.iso 
   Copying an audio CD: dd bs=2352 if=/dev/acd0c of=cd.image

See the handbook section on creating cd's as well as using vnconfig to mount 
the iso image:

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html
