Owncloud - already in the ports collection - would be an option too. It has more features than just folder sync, but you can ignore them if you want. ;) (For that matter, you could run rsync to get the same effect... On ZFS with snapshots if you want to be able to roll back.) But either of these would require running a server someplace. I'm not sure what commercial solutions there are that have a FreeBSD client.
