I also have installed FreeBSD and had the same problem. Looking hard and
deep, I finally found this solution :

1) edit the file /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.iso.kbd, and save it in
   the new file  /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/fr.kbd , changing A/Q, a/q,
   Z/W, z/w, and some other keys...

2) add the following lines in /etc/rc.local :

   echo -n 'french keyboard mapping'
   kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/fr.kbd

3) reboot and enjoy !


Best regards.

I did it and change the codes. Here you have the 64-coded file fr.kbd :
