FreeBSD by default uses nvi (new vi editor its own light version of vim) 
I would try to use that before I waist time with vim. It is included in 
your base distribution no need to compile. The commands are standard vi 
commands.

For light editing you are probably better of to use ee (easy edit) the 
simplest FreeBSD specific editor included in distribution.

This is not to say that vim doesn't work. You have to compile from ports 
and since I do  not use vim I am not probably good  person to answer 
your  question.
