No firm date, it depends on several things.  If you would like to test, 
check out the documentation as shown in the FDP Primer:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/overview-quick-start.html

Then change to the document desired, like the Handbook, and build it as 
EPUB:

   % cd ~/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
   % make FORMATS=epub

Large documents like the Handbook will take a while to build.  The 
output file is called book.epub.
