I know this has already been addresses by others but i have another answer :) If im reding you right you have a linux box setup with nagios and you want to monitor services on a remote freebsd box ? SMTP wont be an issue, that can be monitored with check_smtp as someone has already suggested, local stats like disk usage can be monitored a number of ways, personaly i've found nrpe (nagios remote plugin executor), nrpe basicly allows you to execute nagios check plugins over a network/the internet, it's in ports (2 versions depending on which version of nagios you have installed) and it'll install the nagios-plugins package as a dependancy, once it's installed you can configure the commands nrpe will answer and these commands in turn call a nagios plugin.
