Right let's steer away from the whole Gentoo whatever thing, because
this has nothing at all to do with compiling.
Forbidden means one of two things:
1) The user your Apache server runs as is not allowed to read this
file, your standard Unix chmod,chown and friends help here.
2) The permission structure *within* Apache is not allowing it, this
is all the <Directory ... > clauses in the Apache config.

That's thing #1, so it must be #2. But, also check. su to the www-data
or whatever Apache runs as and try to cat the file, also try to
ls -l the directory.
The Apache error log will give you the reason, from the small amount I
know about FreeBSD it has a policy of locking down hard, even more than
Debian which is saying something. A fine policy, but it can bite you
such as now.
I'd be sure that they would not allow any access outside the
DocumentRoot directory, a sensible default really.
Something like this may help, assuming you have JFFNMS installed under
/opt/jffnms
<Directory /opt/jffnms/htdocs>
Options Indexes
AllowOverride Node
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
