The traditional technique is to send the process a HUP signal (most 
daemon work this way). In fact it's such a common control scenario most 
initscripts and/or other tools used to control system daemons support a 
"reload" command that does this for you (you don't have to know the 
pid). If your system supports reload it's the preferred method, if not 
send a HUP.

With FreeRADIUS you can also do a reload from the admin console.
