Yep, just be sure to install the boot manager on the first drive.  E.g.
visit the first drive and make NO changes to it in the Partition editor,
simply select the boot manager when it comes up.  After that, visit the
2nd drive and partition it for FreeBSD (e.g. DO make changes to that one
and create a FreeBSD partition on it).
