tab completion is a property of the "bash" shell, and not of linux.

You can do the same in tcsh by using Ctrl+D (instead of tab). The other
approach is to load a bash shell.

You can load a bash shell on FreeBSD by using /usr/bin/bash or
/usr/local/bin/bash, whichever is appropriate. You can make it your default
shell by using the chsh command.

But, first you might have to have in your recognised shells (by FreeBSD).
You can just add the path in /etc/shells.

Guess, that'll solve the problem.
