I use Lazarus and FPC on FreeBSD 8/7.2 32 bit  heavily (64 bit
experimental).
IMHO ATM the best way is to use lazarus svn checkouts
(the fixes and trunk versions work very well) with the downloadable
 release candidate of FPC 2.4 . I would not hold my breath until someone
updates the ports ...

Note that you have to use "gmake" (gnu make not the BSD make utility).

Steps: (from memory)
1) Download fpc 2.4rc1, unpack, ./install.sh
2) svn co lazarus (trunk or branch)
3) gmake all
4) ./lazarus
