Here’s an explanation:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Manual_Compilation

… but it should be easier than that, you already have the distribution:

cd <whatever>/tex/texmf-context/source/luametatex
. ./build.sh
cp build/native/luametatex <whatever>/texmf-freebsd-amd64/bin/

Check if the paths match your installation!
