I don't think so, no. A launchd port to FreeBSD is a project that has been hanging around and attempted multiple times by various parties with differing success (I linked to a working, though early launchd_xml port below).
This one in particular is the openlaunchd port first started by R. Tyler back in 2005 when he was a GSoC student, but was abandoned and restarted 8 years later in 2013, announced here: http://unethicalblogger.com/2013/12/03/scratchiest-neckbeard-freebsd-x…
[...] FreeBSD unlocks some hacking that I've wanted to
do, such as:
Restarting my work with launchd on top of FreeBSD as a
viable alternative to rc.d (aside: systemd which many
Linux hackers are familiar with can be considered a
poor impersonation of launchd, which is, in my opinion,
a pretty stellar job management daemon)
That said, I don't think openlaunchd is entirely dead yet. I think a launchd port to FreeBSD is inevitable, whether it's this, launchd_xml or some other one (I'm fairly certain there's some non-public ports), but as a whole it's been a protracted ordeal.
