Do like this:
    $ whereis sawfish
    sawfish: /usr/ports/x11-wm/sawfish

    $ cat /usr/ports/x11-wm/sawfish/pkg-descr 
    Lisp configurable window manager

    WWW: http://sawmill.sourceforge.net/

Which should have the FM or tell you where to find it.

Then maybe
    $ locate sawfish
and
    $ cat /usr/ports/x11-wm/sawfish/pkg-plist

From the latter, you'll see:
    1) whether it comes with some samples
    2) That it comes with "info" system help files (which
    probably answers most of your other questions).
    3) A bunch of lisp files for you to modify.

I'll guess it has a lisp interpreter built into it, since they
can be small enough for that.  The "info" thing should tell
you where to put lisp files for it to interpret/compile.
