I only have one problem with this. Ports is disabled in FreeNAS, and so I
performed the install through pkg_add. When I run the
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/fail2ban start, I get "command not found"

What everyone else has missed out is that ports install their rc files
into /usr/local/etc/rc.d, rather than /etc which is reserved for the
base system. Fail2ban already installs an rc.d script, so you don't
need to do anything.
So, /etc/rc.conf can be used, and add
fail2ban_enable="YES"
Then from the prompt run:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fail2ban start
