This is what openSUSE does - it's possible to zoom through the installer 
choosing the defaults, but on the final page before installation you can 
tweak everything from the location of the bootloader to sysctl values. I 
know this has been tried before, but I wonder if we need a project to 
build a new installer that can do this, perhaps funded through the 
FreeBSD Foundation?
