I'm running FreeBSD and I'd like to have user's files stored encrypted using his/her password, and have seamless SSH access to those files as well (provided that the user always uses password-based authentication).

In Ubuntu this exact process is possible with Encrypted Home Directory.

Is it possible in FreeBSD?

Tried pefs but couldn't get it to fetch the password from ssh.

Freebsd has a kernel module, pefs, that can perform filesystem (directory) encryption. http://www.bsdnow.tv/tutorials/pefs has a tutorial on encrypting a user's home directory and tying that to PAM at login.
