Hi Thomas,
If you Alt-F2/F3 into a spare console, I imagine you can do:
chroot /target /bin/bash
and then run the grub-install command manually.
You should then Alt-F1 back into the installer menu and say 'Continue
without a bootloader' as there are some other things it does before it
finishes.
BTW, were you installing the Squeeze release (kfreebsd-8)? Or one of
the Wheezy testing images (kfreebsd-9) from:
