Handbook Chapter 18 deals with some of the localization issues you
mention. It would be a place to start. Note that FreeBSD documentation
is available in Spanish under /usr/share/doc/es/.
As for the manual pages, I don't know if that's possible. Well, I mean,
it should be possible, but I don't know if translations of the manpages
already exist; and furthermore, I'm not aware whether or not a system
is in place to build the manpages in the alternate language.
It's possible someone with more knowledge on the Doc Team
(docs@freebsd.org) might have a better answer for you. Also,
have you looked for Spanish-speaking FBSD User Groups online?
