See <URL:

If you would like to have WinXP named in the boot menu, you have several 
alternatives.  Section 9.10 of the same FAQ tells you how to use XP's 
bootloader to boot both XP and FreeBSD.  Or you can install Grub from the 
FreeBSD ports (Grub is very nice - read the online documentation 
*thoroughly* beforehand).  Or for something more automagic, try GAG.
