Subject: [PATCH] Document FreeBSD build instructions (#1763)

* Document FreeBSD build instructions

This has been tested under the following conditions:

```
$ uname -apKU
FreeBSD triton 12.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE r354233 GENERIC  amd64 amd64 1201000 1201000
```

It may also work on older versions and should definitely on FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT.
