Please read the handbook for more information on how to install a port, and also how to change your system mail software - although the port will likely to that for you. Some popular mail servers to look at include qmail, postfix and exim and also the standard mail server that FreeBSD installs by default called sendmail. Many people find sendmail difficult to use and configure so replacing it is a popular choice. My suggestion would be to consider what you want to do, and then spend a lot (!) of time reading on the web to understand your options and how you want to proceed. Good luck!
