Essentially, you've got it.  Instead of using sysinstall you could
simply add the lines:

enable_quotas="YES"
check_quotas="YES"

to your /etc/rc.conf file.

You don't need to create these manually.  If you reboot after setting up
the above then the startup scripts will create them for you.  Then to
edit them you would use the edquota command.

There's a chapter in the handbook about quotas at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/quotas.html.
If you find it lacking in any way then we'd appreciate some feedback
over at doc at FreeBSD.org.

Finally, questions of this sort should be directed to the
questions at FreeBSD.org list in future.
