I can't find links to any manuals, however, I did find a statement that OPNsense is update/upgraded via the GUI.  Does this include FreeBSD?

Can OPNsense be installed on an existing FreeBSD instance?

Thank you

Individual update instructions are included in each particular release announcement:

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?board=11.0

We don't have a wiki page, but that is certainly a good idea to have.

The GUI can't safely update the base system or its own package yet. We are working on amending this situation but we don't have any ETA as of yet. You can, however, use the console menu option "12" to safely update your system including FreeBSD.

WRT installing OPNsense on FreeBSD: that isn't currently possible as we still ship a lot of patches in the base system that are not part of the official FreeBSD, but we want to make that possible (or more viable) in the future.
