Add FreeBSD installation instructions to README

@vkarlsen Thanks for doing this. I wanted to ask some clarifying questions.

• Is it possible to see how this was packaged for FreeBSD? Is there a source code?
• We're currently using goreleaser to package devtui. Is there any chance we can use goreleaser to package freebsd version as well?

@vkarlsen Thanks for doing this. I wanted to ask some clarifying questions.

Yes, it's built and packaged via the ports framework. The recipe for devtui can be found at https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/sysutils/devtui/Makefile
The build servers pick it up from there and build new packages when necessary.

* We're currently using goreleaser to package devtui. Is there any chance we can use goreleaser to package freebsd version as well?

Probably, by adding 'freebsd' to the 'goos:' list.
However, the supported way of installing 3rd-party software on FreeBSD is using the pkg repos, as this gives a single interface for updating packages, and also ensures the packages are built for all supported OS versions and architectures.

In case I release a new version.... how does this new version propagate into ports?

Sounds like a good idea to leave a note with a source link and some information about the maintainer.

The portscout checker [1] emails me that there's a new version out, I update it in my local ports tree and test that everything works before I submit it. There is some manual work needed there to make sure that new versions build and run correctly. This happened once already [2] [3] with the bump from 0.32.5 to 0.33.2.

I need to be careful with releases from now on :)
