There are dozens of such applications.  The easiest way to install them would
be using the ports: /usr/ports/news.

My personal favourite is Tin <http://www.tin.org/>, which is console-based.
Other popular console-based readers are slrn and Mutt (with a patch).  Pan and
KNode are graphical alternatives.

They're all in the ports.
