Is this on X or on terminal tty? I'm not of my FreeBSDs now.

If it's on terminal tty, adding the keymap in rc.conf is enough:

keymap="spanish.iso.acc"  

(I think this is the keymap code, but not
sure).

You can set it up while install the system, selecting the keymap on
first steps.

If it's on X, you can use hald/dbus. Enable them on rc.conf and add
this code to file /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel"
type="string">pc105</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout"
type="string">es</merge> </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>


Later I'll write again with my configuration
