To uncompress and make a "standard" .tar.gz file use:

tar -zxvf <your tar archive filename here> 

This will untar and unzip it in one operation.  It
will probably create it's own directory structure when
you do this.  Then:

cd <new directory name here>
./configure (maybe check your README file)
make
make install (maybe check your README file)

that should do it.  That's a standard Unix/linux
software installation process --  your mileage may
vary.

I'm not totally familiar with the FreeBSD package
manager, so there may be another way. . .
