I assume you are referring to the system.inc file mentioned in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/x86-portable-code.html
If so, note that this page says that you need to create this file yourself,
it is neither part of nasm nor part of the standard FreeBSD distribution :)
See the last paragraph on the page - "Go ahead, enter it into your editor
and save it as system.inc." :)

G'luck,
Peter
