I once tried to use (in DOS-terms) logical partitions within an extended partition. This is possible, if you do the math and creation of partition tables by hand, but is not supported by the FreBSD tools.
No, you don't need to do anything by hand. Just disklabel /dev/amr0s5 and so on, and create the partitions in it. I will note that on 5.0-RELEASE, the extended slice devices didn't get created for me.
Yes, disklabel worked o.k., I talked about potential problems with (DOS-term) partition tables, aka slice tables.
It's about two years ago, that I experimented with FBSD and "extended/logical slices", but at least fdisk and /stand/sysinstall didn't support those then. Did this change? At the moment I don't have a spare system to experiment and check this myself.
