Hi Kyrre, I don't know of any "neural" network packages off the top of my head, but there are distributed programming mechanisms such as MPI (message passing), Charm++ (distributed objects), and even Apple's Xgrid[1] (distribute compute-intensive tasks), that can all probably be made to work on FreeBSD. Are any of these similiar to what you are looking for? -Andy.
