For a FreeBSD host, QEmu is the best supported option.

There's also Win4BSD, which is a customised/modified version of QEmu.  I've 
seen several reports online of this being better/faster than QEmu.  I've 
never personally been able to get it to work, though.

And that's pretty much it if you want full-OS virtualisation (ie, the VMs 
have their own OS).  If you don't need that, and just want to run multiple 
FreeBSD setups on one host, have a look at jail(8).
