Midnight Commander is available in the ports tree under the subdirectory 
misc/mc (probably /usr/ports/misc/mc)

Or you can add the -r (think recursive) option to rm and it will attempt to 
remove the heirarchy, prompting for your ok at each direcotry.  Adding -f 
(think forced) makes rm do this without asking, which could be dangerous.
