This directory should be created by "make install" or by the package
definition (eg spec file, for RPM-based systems).  I'm guessing that
the "tasks.cfg" file was updated with the "include" but the installer
for BSD was not updated accordingly.

Actually, I think "make install" won't create this subdir either.

"install.html" is included in the source, and should be in the
installed package.  You should be able to view it from the menu.  Or
here: http://xymon.org/xymon/help/install.html
