I think OS/2 boot manager is a better choice.

most OS needs to have their boot partition within the 1st 540megs of the HD. I
think to run 3 OS off the same HD you'll need to make sure that the boot
partition of all the 3 OS to be inside the first 540 megs.
My suggestion will be that you put 150 megs for win, at least 200megs for OS/2
and at least 32megs for the root of FreeBSD.
