You should have a look at the Handbook

     http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/crypt.html


As a general technique for resolving such questions:

No, I am not a smart ass (I only vaguely remembered that there was
at least MD5 and DES - and that there is even something advanced like 
PAM lurking), I just typed 'md5 password' in the search box on

    http://www.freebsd.org

and there it came up as first hit.
Another excellent resource is the CVS web interface, with a bit
of knowledge where to look, one for example can detect driver
source and answer the one or other question from that.

Marc
