FreeBSD dual boot...

Will freeBSD use GRUB/LILO to dual boot if xp is already loaded?

Thanks.

FreeBSD has its own bootmanager. After running fdisk/disklabel you will be asked if you want to install it. It uses the "F" keys to boot your different systems.
You will probably be happier installing grub
