my question is: how can i define more partitions on my freebsd? (for

You cannot. You need to use the GPT partitioning approach
and repartition your disk. With gpart, you can create more
than 'h' partitions, but the partitions will have different
names, such as ad3s1p1, ad3s1p2, ..., ad3s1p10, ad3s1p11, ...
and so on.
GPT partitioning is a replacement for MBR partitioning, and will
generally look like ad3p1, ad3p2, and so on. FreeBSD's GPT
implementation should allow 128 GPT partitions by default, although I
have not tested that.
Use of gpart to set up a disk is shown here:

The FreeBSD 9.x installer, bsdinstall, uses GPT partitioning by default.
The older sysinstall that is used on FreeBSD 8 does not, and probably
has no native way to use GPT. The partitions would have to be set up
manually from a shell before running the installer, and then manually
entered in the installer.
