I must say, the last time I installed FreeBSD (was within the past 6 months or so), I decided to try the 'all-binary' route using 'pkg', and was pretty impressed with the ease of use, and no worrying about dependencies, much like I'm used to with Archlinux. It was a much better experience than I've had in the past.
