As others have pointed, there are very little technical reasons to use FreeBSD. Especially since Linux and Docker ate into the virtualization market. If you have a spare machine and are really that curious than by all means. Ports was a fun experience, and FreeBSD overall felt like a steady drop into real unix. Gentoo and Arch follow the same spirit, but were way too hands free for my interest.
I will warn, unless you do have technical reasons, you will unlikely gain anything professionally in a world of Linux servers. Maybe to make use of the most widely used OS under the BSD license. Apple, Nintendo, Sony, and others have proved this.
