What's your partitioning scheme? MBR or GPT?

In the case of the former you could install FreeBSD's small 
boot manager, /boot/boot0.

The command:

  gpart -b /boot/boot0 ada0

should accomplish this. Adjust the command to suit the name of your 
harddrive, it could be da0 or something else like mfisyspd0.

Hopefully xubuntu won't complain.

In the case of the latter, have a look at the various EFI boot 
managers available. rEFInd and GRUB 2 comes to mind.

Others will probably correct me if I said anything wrong.
