Really?

sudo pacman -Syu linux-lts

sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Then copy the entry from the "default" kernel and edit it to fit to the
LTS kernel. Just take a look at it and you'll see it's self-explaining.
However, AFAIK there are also update commands for GRUB, using some OS
prober thingy to generate an updated grub.cfg.

Did you take a look at the grub man page? Maybe installing the kernel
automatically updates grub.cfg?

I'm using GRUB too, but it's not part of my Arch install, it's a
stand-alone GRUB and I anyway prefer to manually edit grub.cfg.
Regarding a FreeBSD install I decided to use GRUB2. Using another
bootloader doesn't harm, if you shouldn't really need GRUB.
