Sorry about the nested reply, I don't seem to have the original message.
I think I had trouble with whatever DOOM program is in the ports, but
it's been a long time. Truth is, I think the program in ports is a bit
outdated, and it doesn't work well.

You might try prboom, which works wonderfully. It even supports extra
features the official DOOM never did. You can find this at
prboom.sourceforge.net. I think they have building instructions for
FreeBSD.

Good luck.
