In BSD, you need to be a member of group `wheel' to use su. Login as root, and edit the /etc/group file to add your username to wheel. Alternatively, use the pw command.

The default behaviour of SSH in FreeBSD is to not allow remote root login. If you really must allow root login, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add a line PermitRootLogin yes If you do this, I suggest you disable password authentication and use public key authentication instead.
