I have almost similar configuration on my IBM Thinkpad X61 laptop.
Here is how I did it:
1. Install Windows XP/ Vista in the first primary partition.
2. Install OpenBSD in the second primary partition.
3. Install FreeBSD in the third.
4. Install Linux (Debian, in my case) in the fourth - which becomes
extended because of the way Linux handles the partitions.
