Short answer: no! Longer answer: If the slice is not currently used by DOS/Windows, you can delete any logical drives on it can be deleted in DOS FDISK and then you can use the FreeBSD installation (sysinstall) package to re-type the partition (slice) as type 165, FreeBSD and you can install there.
