@Rob Yes, my bad, the Arch rosetta doesn't have entries for *BSD. The Rosetta Stone for Unix does.

The FreeBSD project has a very good Handbook covering most aspects of using the system.
For example, there is a chapter dedicated to Installing Applications: Packages and Ports.
In it, you will get to know that the command that is used for installation of pre-compiled 3rd party software is called pkg:
A FreeBSD package contains pre-compiled copies of all the commands for an application, as well as any configuration files and documentation. A package can be manipulated with the
pkg(8)commands, such aspkg install.
