As far as I know, regression tests in FreeBSD are pretty sporadic, and a real regression testing system is an open project (http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/ideas.html#p-regression).

There's a collection of tests in src/tools/regression which can be run by installing devel/p5-Test-Harness. It does seem like the tests are in a sorry state, as an insane amount of tests are failing for me:
