Like this:

    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat.sh start

If that doesn't print out anything then double check what's in /etc/rc.conf
If the service apparently starts up, but then you find it's not running
a few seconds later, then check any log files that application uses -- it's
quite often the case that there's a configuration fubar somewhere that is
causing the service to give up.
