Summary: yes

I use LiLo to boot DOS / Linux / FreeBSD on my machine, without any problems.
In the LiLo config file, the FreeBSD is entered like a DOS partition,
to be booted via the ``chain'' loader.

# FreeBSD bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda3
  label = FreeBSD
  alias = bsd
  table = /dev/sda
  password = topsecret
  restricted
# FreeBSD bootable partition config ends
