I tried both Qmail and Postfix for the same reasons. Found both performed 
very well and were reasonably easy to configure. Finally I chose Postfix 
since it is well documented, very easy to configure, has a good 
maillinglist and gets regular updates.

Just install it from the ports collection, I'm sure you will like it.

Regards,

Frank
