LGTM overall, just a few nits. Thank you so much for this!
Would you mind also updating README.md to mention this new target platform? A post on Swift Forums could also help people to test drive this.
Also, we need to keep compatibility with Swift 6.0 for now, that's why those jobs are failing.

The Swift SDK Generator project should be able to generate SDKs that target FreeBSD systems. FreeBSD is much simpler than Linux. We only require the user to provide their desired architecture and FreeBSD version. This script will then download the FreeBSD base system content and create a sysroot suitable for use with Swift Package Manager. Because there are not currently any Swift toolchains for FreeBSD available on swift.org, we require the user to provide a path to a pre-built toolchain if they want the SDK to support building Swift code. In the future, we can download the Swift toolchain like we do for Linux in lieu of requiring the user to provide it.
