In a .jsp I would use:
<fmt:message key="welcome.title"/>
to display a message from my messages.properties file.
How would I do this with freemarker ?

Import Spring Macro
<#import "/spring.ftl" as spring/>
Then
<@spring.message "yourMessageKeyGoesHere"/>
But you need to register ResourceBundleMessageSource
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="messages"/>
</bean>
Keep in mind MessageSource must be called messageSource

No, you don't have to import this manually in each template. You can set an auto_import property in your freemarker settings as showed below.
<bean id="freemarkerConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
...
<property name="freemarkerSettings">
<props>
<prop key="auto_import">spring.ftl as spring</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Others are fine answers. Providing java config as example for those that use that.
@Bean(name = "freemarkerConfig")
public FreeMarkerConfigurer freemarkerConfig() {
FreeMarkerConfigurer configurer = new FreeMarkerConfigurer();
configurer.setTemplateLoaderPaths("/WEB-INF/views/", 'classpath:/templates');
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("xml_escape", new XmlEscape());
configurer.setFreemarkerVariables(map)
def settings = new Properties()
settings['auto_import'] = 'spring.ftl as spring,layout/application.ftl as l,/macros/meh.ftl as meh'
configurer.setFreemarkerSettings(settings)
log.info "returning freemarker config"
return configurer;
}
