If you already have Debian installed, with GRUB on MBR and you have a free primary partition lying around then you can install FreeBSD normally using the free primary partition as your BSD slice and making BSD partitions over it. When FreeBSD ask you about Bootloader chose to leave the MBR untouched. Once FreeBSD is installed you can boot into Debian and add FreeBSD entry in grub's config file. Next time you reboot you should get option to boot in Debian or FreeBSD right from GRUB.
