You certainly are becoming a bit confused. ;)
FreeTDS is the driver itself, or more exactly, one part of FreeTDS is
an ODBC driver for Sybase/MSSQL.
What the documentation talks about as the prerequisite to using the
driver is a *Driver Manager*, such as iODBC or unixODBC.
Anyway, just ignore anything ODBC. You don't need it.
