Downloaded Freemind from Sourceforge and unpacked the distro in my home directory.
Downloaded the Freemind icon by Christian Foltin from this Wordpress blog, whose owner does not make it easy to identify him/her, so I don't know whom to thank for making it available. Copied the icon to /usr/share/pixmaps and named it freemind.png.
Created a desktop file in /usr/share/applications named freemind.desktop with the following contents:
Freemind now appears in the Applications -> Office menu.
