Do you happen to know of a resource along the lines of "BSD for
Linux Users"?

I'd class myself as an experienced used, having had extensive
experience with several different distributions (currently using
Debian) but as I want to be a Sysadmin one day I recognize that I
need to learn a few different Unices.  I'm planning on installing
FreeBSD on a spare computer I have here and networking it to my
existing ones, hopefully to use it as a gateway server when I get
as far as grokking NAT etc.

I have a book "The Comprete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey which is
pretty good but obviously oriented at somebody who hasn't used
Unix before.  It's been helpful and I have read through it, but
something that covered -just- the differences would be even
better!
