I assume you've seen https://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleSilicon.  Not sure 
how up-to-date it is.  The wikis tend to lag behind reality in my 
experience.

I have run FreeBSD under UTM (Qemu with a GUI).  It worked OK, but I 
wasn't able to get better than 800x600 graphics, and it seemed to cause 
the host macOS to drop network connections.
