Edit the /etc/group file and add your new account like so:
wheel:*:0:root,$YOUR_ACCOUNT

I would also suggest that you read Dru Lavigne's excellent online
tutorials on FreeBSD:
FreeBSD Basics:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/ct/15

In addition I would recommend the following books:

FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer
http://www.bsdmall.com/freebosforyo.html

The Complete FreeBSD, by Greg Lehey
http://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm/bsdcomp4?id=TasN32Ms&mv_pc=119

Of course you should also read the FreeBSD handbook. However
