Unfortunately, there is not much you can do, the primary MBR-type partition indicates FreeBSD but there is no BSD disklabel information so the tools can't find the offsets into any BSD subpartitions.

If there was the BSD disklabel data, you might have been able to obtain the alternate superblock locations for the filesystem (..newfs -N).. but right now nothing is where it should be.

As suggested by Carpetsmoker you'll need to dig a bit deeper, perhaps more so then you're willing or capable of.. by analyzing sectors and attempting to discern the on disk layout.

Using tools that search for known "filetypes" might be one way of recovering files if it's actually unencrypted, like ..pictures/text/videos.

You might have luck with TestDisk/PhotoRec, presumably in the FreeBSD ports tree somewhere.

Good luck.
