I don't know, is it written for FreeBSD (I think - no, it's written for
a previous version of BSD), but it's in the original installed version.
So try to run it (it's in the /usr/sbin directory), but before:
1) generate a new kernel with packet-filter configured
2) make the packet-filter devices with /dev/MAKEDEV
3) man bpf
4) man tcpdump
