Slightly more detailed version: If you went ahead and did what you're asking about, I think what you might get is a second GRUB boot menu when you booted up FreeBSD, and of course you don't want to have to boot twice, do you? The /boot/grub directory is actually something you create yourself - installing the port does *not* do this for you. However, as I said, you don't need and don't want to do this on FreeBSD, since GRUB on Linux is working perfectly well as your boot manager. GRUB is actually not very difficult. From your description re "tearing your hair out" and your questions, I'd suggest that typing "info grub" (no quotes) and (re)reading the docs will repay you many times over.
