I appreciate the link; this tutorial will be helpful for those running on Canoncial’s Ubuntu Linux. However, the packaging of PHP is different in FreeBSD than it is in Ubuntu Linux, which is what tripped me up.
I managed to find time to take a closer look at what PHP was actually seeing. Turn’s out; I was missing some additonal extensions that I had assumed were built into the PHP core package for FreeBSD.
I ran php -i, which is the command-line version of php-info(). [Note: I’m only listing the output of the extension information from php-info()]:

Additional Modules
Module Name
Basically, I needed to install the following packages, which on other platforms are usually built-into PHP:
pkg install php70-session
pkg install php70-xmlreader
pkg install php70-hash
After that, I’m able to get to the Administrative Setup page. Case closed!
