/usr/local/bin/freenet is the correct script to run. That's because the
Freenet people assume you just unpack their software into a directory
and run it from there.

Yes, you're right. That's a bug in the startup script - the 'c'
parameter isn't recognized. Applying the attached patch to
/usr/local/bin/freenet should make it work.

The startup script creates ~/.freenet for you and places soft links to
the jar files in there, along with the configuration files.

It's correct.

It's possible to use it as a regular user, so you should do that - maybe
even as a 'sandbox' user created for that purpose only.
Be sure to read http://freenet.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=3Dfaq, too.
If you're interested in anonymous networks, /usr/ports/net/mute-net
might be interesting for you, too.
