You might want to try a chainloader boot from grub. The following is a
chainloader rule that I have used, as well as a normal loader boot. I
use the loader boot, but I also tested the chainloader boot. You will
need a ufs2_stage1_5 file in your grub directory for a loader boot, and
linux grub might not have it available.

In case you have not got it working yet, I can offer a glimmer of hope
by telling how I managed to multi boot Linux and FreeBSD on MBR logical
partitions.
By using the grub patch at:
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=158362>
ports/158362: sysutils/grub [patch] allow GRUB to boot FreeBSD from an
extended partition
You must rebuild and reinstall grub (from Linux I guess).
My install is fairly old and from the days when sysutils/grub at least
was installable from within FreeBSD i386. The patch itself does not
touch FreeBSD sources, only grub. So I expect it will build from any
OS/machine that can build grub.
When installed I can boot FreeBSD from an MBR logical partition like so:
title FreeBSD CURRENT (amd64) (disk1, logical partition s11)
root (hd0,10,a)
kernel /boot/loader
boot
Depending upon how recent version of FreeBSD you have installed you may
have to config the FreeBSD loader to find its root file system.
10-CURRENT should be okay.
Best regards,
Gyrd ^_^
