If you are not familiar with running multiple OSs, I would
recommend you get a second HD to try FreeBSD. A couple of Gbs
will do so it could be an old drive or something you could pick
up from yahoo auctions for $10 to $20.

The best of this approach is that you significantly reduce the
changes of causing problems with your Win98 setup.

How is your backup? If the answer is "what backup", the I
definitely suggest the second drive approach.
Trying to install both OSs in the same drive will require you to
play with Fdisk or it's FreeBSD equivalent. That could lead to
data lost if you make the wrong choices. This will be the same
for many other Free OSs you may try since they may use a
different file system.
