No, your root is apparently hdc4, so you'd append root=/dev/hdc4 to the kernel line. Also, you'd have to add a FreeBSD section. I only have one user with a FreeBSD box, which he pretty much administers himself. I seem to recall there are issues using grub to boot it. Better read up on that. http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub-0.92/html_mono/grub.html would be a good start, in addition to the FreeBSD site.
