Getting the client working on FreeBSD is nothing special :) Just install
the client (I understand that's already done) and add the amandad entry
to /etc/inetd.conf.

This file needs to be in the home directory of the amanda user (in your
case, operator). You can find out what this directory is by running
chsh operator.
I believe the default home directory for operator on FreeBSD is /
Generally when installing Amanda on FreeBSD I prefer to not use operator
but still create a special 'amanda' user and add this user to group
'operator'. Operator's standard home directory being / is one of the
reasons - I don't like the idea of amanda files living directly under /.
The alternative is to change the home directory of operator to somewhere
else, which I also don't like. I *have* done it on some machines,
though, and they have been running for several years without problems.
I assume /tmp/amanda should exist on the machine and be writable and
ownder by operator:operator (operator being the default username the
client seems to install by, and operator being BSD's equiv of 'disk'
group), is this so?
Yes. But this directory should be created automatically by Amanda.
