Is this a bug with the FreeBSD port then?  Because apparently the 
slony_master_setup.sh script is supposed to do all that for you.  Here 
is what it tells me:

The setup script was saved as '/home/slony/slony_master_setup.sh'.  This 
script must be executed on the master as the "slony" system user.  If 
all goes well, Slony-I will be setup.  If not, errors should be reported 
in '/home/slony/slony_setup.log'.

Additionally, a data dump of all data collected by this script has been 
stored in the file '/home/slony/slony_dump'.  You might want to save 
this file if you want to run this script again with many of the same 
values.  A subsequent run of slony_setup.pl looks for the dumpfile in 
the working target directory.  This dump file only contains the server 
names and login credentials for now.  Since it contains sensitive 
information, it should be safe-guarded.

You must also run the following command(s) on each slave as the "slony" 
system user.  These commands should be also set to start and stop when 
PostgreSQL starts and stops:

slon T1 dbname=bb 2> /home/slony/slon-bb.err 1> /home/slony/slon-bb.out &
