For sound card, you probably need to compile a kernel after configuring i=
t to=20
support  your particular card.

There is /stand/sysinstall which can help you configure most services.=20
However, I find it is best not to install packages from there but build t=
he=20
latest port.

However, there is nothing like linuxconf (or kernelconf?) here. In any ca=
se,=20
it is always better to compile a small neat kernel on your system that=20
supports exactly those devices you need. Just read instructions in the=20
handbook on how to rebuild the kernel. It's easy.
