It's pretty much the same in FreeBSD except that the device
will be /dev/da1c (or /dev/da1 in recent 5.x). You may need to specify
the file system type with -t (otherwise UFS will be assumed) eg:

mount -t msdos /dev/da1c /mnt/usbdisk

See man umass for more gory details.

Or try this one:
(which is how I use my CF card in my 4-in-1 USB cardreader)

mount_msdosfs -o longnames -u MYUSERNAME -g MYGROUP -m 644 -M 755
/dev/da1s1 /mnt
(all in one line, of course)

Covered in the Handbook, available at :
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
Look at section 16.3 and follow links and advices.

Google has a load of links regarding question :

How does the system decide to designate the first "usb drive" in the
system? When I plug in mu usb widget, I get a device DA0, and I use this
entry in my fstab file:

/dev/da0s1 /pen msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0

If I were to plug in a second widget, would it become DA1?

It's sequentially-ordered, and yes the next would be da1.
In the case of a USB card reader, the various slots are given bus IDs and
get the next four device numbers in ID order.
