In my understanding this is correct. There's no pam_userdb.so available for
FreeBSD.
You could use pam_pwdfile.so, which is in the ports-collection. Users are
added/changed e.g. through htpasswd. Works well if you have not a lot of
accounts.

a simple vsftpd.pam could look like this:
auth       required    /usr/local/lib/pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/vsftpd_login
account      required    /usr/lib/pam_permit.so
