How immune is a FreeBSD system from spyware?  For sure, we should all be

I think it's irrelevant whether you use FreeBSD or any other operating system. In my opinion the most critical factors are the user and the installed software, e.g. your browser and your mail client. Surprisingly this applies to Windows too; you can keep privacy if you follow some essential rules, even with Windows.
