On FreeBSD you can override the limitation for privileged ports (under 1024) by adding this to to /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh=0
​
However, this is not recommended for security reasons. It's also not recommended to run Tor as root. For best security on FreeBSD, it may be best to use ports over 1024 for Tor.
