The freebsd build process doesn't know anything about filesystems, it
just installs things to DESTDIR (which is / by default).

If you're doing the kernel build and install native on the rpi, you
could get the effect you want by doing:

 mount -t msdosfs /dev/mmcsd0s1 /boot/dtb
 make installkernel
 umount /boot/dtb

At least, I think that should work.
