1 - The FreeNAS site doesn't indicate whether root level terminal access is available -- many of these NAS products don't make that available, to limit the scope user "meddling". Without terminal and root access, your are very limited.
2 - The project hasn't had a port maintainer for FreeBSD in several years, so the last built FreeBSD package is 1.5.2 (very odd, now unsupported release). So, if you are handy with unix and compilers, it is very likely that you could port an active release (v2.5 would be the ideal candidate) to the platform. The Firebird developers would be more than happy to help you with the porting efforts (even more so, if you were willing to share back your changes).

P.S. Thanks for the question, I had a look and think it might be appropriate for a project we have (we are looking for ZFS/deduplication file system).
