AFAIK - no.

The simplest approach would seem to be using a USB installer, that would
require no remastering of an ISO image.

Chain loading a preseed configuration file comes close to what you want
- but it does require customising the original preseed.cfg:-

There's a good overview of the preseed process here:-
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ch02.html
Unfortunately it has tables in it.

The debian wiki has some links to various preseed references,
unfortunately they mostly seem dated:-
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed

And I'm assuming the bsd iso you've chosen supports these options.

Cheers
