Is there a boot manager that can handle this?

| What you posted below seems like grub 1 syntax.

Right.  But notice 2 and 3 above (in the "root" lines).

| The latest Ubuntu comes 
| with grub 2. Here is what I have in /etc/grub.d/40_custom (after the 
| required bits):
| menuentry "FreeBSD 9-Current amd64" {
| set root=(hd0,3)
| chainloader +1
| }
| menuentry "FreeBSD 7-Stable i386" {
| set root=(hd0,3)
| chainloader +1
| }

and notice 3 and 3 in yours.

Aren't you pointing GRUB to the same location (the third partition on
hd0), in both entries?
