Just my $.02, but if the FreeBSD project is to maintain a
ca-root-freebsd.pem, I think it should have one certificate in it: the
root FreeBSD Project cert. Beyond that, I'm not willing to vouch for the
trustworthiness of any CA, and I don't think the Project should either.
Let people install CA bundles from packages, even give admins the choice
of "the Mozilla bundle" vs "Dr Guru's paranoid bundle" vs whatever, but
I don't think the Project should be in the business of endorsing any
particular CA in the base system.

Or we could patch the OpenSSL port to use /usr/local/etc/ssl too?
