Yes of course.
Install Windows or repartition your disk using the fips utility
(on Walnut Creeck FreeBSD CD-Rom or ftp server) and read the fips
docu CAREFULLY.

After that install FreeBSD. It installs a simple and effective
boot manager, so you can dual boot.

And BTW, I think this is a FAQ and detailed instructions are surely
in the fine FreeBSD manual on the WWW server: www.freebsd.org.
