Did you check the info at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html

In particular, I ran into a problem with creating the link. I received
an error message stating the link existed; however, even if it did it
was not working correctly. I corrected it with this:

ln -s -F /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/

I then ran: "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i" and all is well, or at least as
well as can be expected with Flash and FreeBSD. Not exactly a marriage
made in heaven.

Good luck, you'll need it.
