This is generally a very bad idea.
Why do you want to do this?

Learn to use su/sudo, there's even a GUI for it called gksu.

Most of the system-level configurations on FreeBSD are done using a console, as the gui tools are not mature enough because they are most linux-centric.
There is nothing that you can do with a gui that you can't do from a console and the opposite is not true.
So keep surfing the internet and reading your email as normal user, but learn how to configure the system from a console using su or sudo as suggested, and you'll gain a wider skill.
The Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html) is a good source and you can always ask here in the forums.

I need this too, because now I'm testing FreeBSD, I use text editor to edit some config file but can not save (etc: squid.conf, edit on console is too hard).
