I triple-boot BSD, Linux, & MS-DOS; have for years, with LILO.
BSD's install can be made to not clobber anything.
Just get Linux booted, configure LILO to "see" BSD and
all should be fine.  I don't know if BSD's bootmanager
can do Linux, but as a guess, I "think" it would just
bring up Linux's bootmanager, i.e. LILO or GRUB.
