EasyBCD from neosmart.net is an easy and free way to do this.  Install 
Vista, install FreeBSD in another slice/primary partition but leave the 
MBR alone, then install and use EasyBCD from Vista to set booting 
options.  On boot, the machine shows a menu similar to but fancier than 
FreeBSD's boot0.
