Right. ;-) That one is easy.. But the share needs to be on the fbsd
machine then. Can I also share parts of the XP / OSX to each other or
will this be hard to do. My daughter is on osx, her brother on xp and
they do not always want me (fbsd) in the middle ;-)

as osx is based on freebsd... is mount_smbfs still present? if so,
one of the easiest ways should be to share a folder on the windows
machine and the mount it from the osx box (see: man mount_smbfs).

alternatively you could install a nfs client (nfsAxe is one i recall) on
the windows box and use NFS to share files. i would prefer this one, since i don't like smb.

after all, why are _you_ trying to find out, how your kids can keep
things secret from you? let them figure out :-P

Although MacOSX is FreeBSD based, it's somewhat dangerous to deal with the non-GUI based UI junk as the Unix commands don't tie into the OS very well, IMO. That was the only sad thing about OSX for me I discovered, but Apple probably thought that people would like to connect to servers via the GUI method more than the CLI based command =\. If you need scriptability, there're always Applescript and the Automator in 10.4 that ties in with Apple's stuff quite nicely.
