Is it possible to install older versions of Windows on a FreeNAS VM? I've tried to boot up the Windows 95 install on a VM but with no success. Any settings I should be tweaking to make it work? Thanks for any help!

No. To run Windows on the Bhyve hypervisor you must enable VNC, which requires UEFI booting. Since Windows 95 was developed and released 12 years prior to EFI being introduced, you're chances of making it work are low.
