I don't know much specifically about freeNAS, but whatever your login shell is doesn't matter as long as you declare the proper shell at the beginning of the script.
MY login shell can be sh, but if I write a korn shell script, as long as the first line in the script is #!/usr/bin/ksh, the script will be executed in korn (as long as ksh is in /usr/bin, of course).
