This tells us you're installing the Webmin RPM package on a FreeBSD box. 
  This won't work.  Not because you can't run rpm on a FreeBSD box (you 
can) but because the installation for a Red Hat derived system is vastly 
different than for a FreeBSD system--nothing will be in the right place, 
including perl.  The package just isn't compatible--you could make an 
RPM that would work for your FreeBSD system, but it would take some time 
and effort.

Try:

./setup.sh

instead of:

. setup.sh
