speaker-test

1.) You are referring to a non-official manual-site. Use this one: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

2.) 9.0-RELEASE is obsolete, use 9.3 instead.

Following this unveils that speaker-test is gone.

You might also test like this:
# echo "hello speaker" > /dev/speaker[cmd][/cmd]

Code: 
# echo "hello speaker" > /dev/speaker
/dev/speaker: Operation not supported

Should this just beep?

I'm actually looking for a program that will generate various tones via command line parameters such as frequency and duration. I thought speaker-test provided such functionality...

It will generate some tones. This magic is caused by these letters: c,d,e,f,g,a,b. Just try echo "cdefgab" > /dev/speaker.

audio/beep has options for selecting device, pitch and duration.

Don't be shy. Just click on the thanks button. :) Thanks.

I've installed audio/beep but can't get the program to make any noise at all.

I can get sound out of the system via multimedia/vlc so I know that sound works.
