Elizabet,

I think you're confusing the BSD Base System (installed as an optional extra 
off the OS X CD) with FreeBSD (a complete operating system).

If you need the BSD base system you will need an up-to-date OS X CD.  But I've 
found it won't work with a patched system, so you will at best have to 
reinstall off a 10.3 CD.  (or upgrade to 10.4)
