I really like the way mfsBSD can quickly boot up a FreeBSD from minimal storage and I'm wondering if there is any way to incorporate a startup script or an ncurses menu of options.
Difficult to fully understand what you're asking.
mfsBSD is (as the name suggests) is a Memory File System system. That is; the entire system is in a packed (compressed) md(4) (Memory Disk). This is what accounts for it's speed. Because Memory is lightning fast. As compared to Disk access.
As to the menu. I'm not sure I follow.
Oh. I see. Like Start a Window Manager, and Desktop environment. Or start an install?
You'd need to unpack/mount the ISO, or IMG to disk, and modify it's contents to perform your desired task(s). # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsbsd.iso -u 0 for example.
You could use ports-mgmt/dialog4ports to create your desired menu(s)
Anything more specific would require a more specific question.
