What command did you do to make the links, I'm not familiar with FreeBSD but I assume it's similar in that you do: $ln -s /path_to_products/ /path_to_zope_instance/Prodcuts/ Do the files show up in the Products folder of your instance on the filesystem?
Are you running the instance with runzope or zopectl. For the first time after you make the symlink, use the runzope so that you get terminal output of all the products loading and messages about potential errors. Note you have to manually kill the process after this and restart with zopectl when you're sure it's working. Worst case scenario, drop a copy of the plone files directly into your instance and see if they come up. Also check the ownership and permissions on those linked files, make sure they are not owned by root when you're running zope as another user(which you should be).
