GRUB is good. A very informative article about GRUB can be found here:

  http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue85/4622.html

If you decide to use GRUB, you'll need a few lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst to load FBSD 
- the following is what I have:

  title FreeBSD
  root (hd0,1,a)
  kernel /boot/loader
  boot

Obviously, the second line will vary depending on which partition you've installed 
FBSD.

And if you've got Windows on the first partition:

  title Windows
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1


I suggest you download the GRUB boot floppy and experiment with that before deciding 
if you want to install it to your MBR.

hope this helps,
Robert
