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.
