Just thought of it: no, it will not work with the FreeBSD boot manager. No doubt other boot managers will be able to do this, but the freeBSD one is too simple (by design, by the way: It is that way so it will fit entirely inside the boot sector.)
With multiple drives, the FreeBSD boot manager simply looks for other boot managers, and gives you the option of handing over to that one. So you will be presented with any bootable slices on the current disk, plus any other disks with bootable entries.
You will have to take a look at some other boot managers (eg grub). These ones are more complex than the freebsd one, and probably have the smarts to look inside other drives for bootable slices.
