I have the following configuration

they were installed in the above order, so now I can use only freebsd
is there a way to configure freebsd's boot loader to be able to boot
from the win partition (I googled around and found boot0cfg (8), but
didn't have the time to play with it)
Yes, this is possible.
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 // make the MBR writable
# boot0cfg -s 1 /dev/ad0 // set default selection
You'll find further information and even examples in the manpage of
boot0cfg.
what I want to know is if (making a similarity with linux's lilo) I can
make the boot loader to have the options 1) boot win, 2) boot freebsd
This should be the default behaviour of boot0. In case you didn't
installed it yet you can do it with
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 // make the MBR writable
# boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0 // install boot0
