No, this is not true.  FreeBSD will work on all Intel 386-compatible
processors, which includes the Pentium 4.  Additionally, it will work with
most non-Intel 386-compatible processors.

From the handbook:

FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA, and PCI
bus-based PCs with Intel, AMD, Cyrix, or NexGen ``x86'' processors, as
well as a number of machines based on the Compaq Alpha processor. Support
for generic IDE or ESDI drive configurations, various SCSI controllers,
PCMCIA cards, USB devices, and network and serial cards is also provided.
FreeBSD also supports IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus.
