_Installing_ it in an "extended partition" is easy enough.
geom(8) understands "extended partitions" (although sysinstall
does not, so you need to install using Fixit# as for other
non-sysinstall cases such as ZFS).

The problem is _booting_ it.  The code in i386/boot2 and
lib/libstand is written to find the / (or /boot) FS on a
BSD partition of an fdisk "primary partition" (aka slice),
or in a GPT partition, and would need additions to handle
fdisk "extended partitions".
