Sorry, I'm not familiar with freebsd.

You should be able to install logrotate from freebsd ports (if not
installed already), and configure it to rotate freeradius' logs. Or
contact the maintainer of freeradius port on freebsd, just in case
they do it already, or have plans to do it.

... or if you're feeling particularly lazy and just want something
that can run FR and is already configured to do log rotate, switch to
linux :)
