There is no vrdp on the FreeBSD port, BUT there is VNC !!

Look:

[~]>VBoxHeadless
Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 3.2.2
(C) 2008-2010 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

Usage:
   -s, -startvm, --startvm <name|uuid>   Start given VM (required argument)
   -n, --vnc                             Enable the built in VNC server
   -m, --vncport <port>                  TCP port number to use for the VNC
                                         server
   -o, --vncpass <pw>                    Set the VNC server password
   -c, -capture, --capture               Record the VM screen output to a file
   -w, --width                           Frame width when recording
   -h, --height                          Frame height when recording
   -r, --bitrate                         Recording bit rate when recording
   -f, --filename                        File name when recording.  The codec
                                         used will be chosen based on the
                                         file extension

So:

VBoxHeadless -s VM_NAME -n -m 5100 

will start the VM "VM_NAME" with a VNC listener at port 5100

So any vnc viewer will connect to it.

Very simple and easy !
