Thanks to the people > that help in advance. Bryan, Please try to do things for yourself and come back to the list with specific problems. The people on here help you out of the kindness of their hearts, so the least you could do would be do meet them half way. Having the right attitude and phrasing questions properly takes you a long way to actually getting meaningful help. So read the FreeBSD Handbook (www.freebsd.org) learn how to install ports or packages. Install Apache and PHP, make sure that name.dyndns.org points to your machine's IP address and then see if it works. If it doesn't, collect as much information as you can about what's going wrong, then come back to the list after trying to problem-solve yourself. Also, you might want to make sure that your ISP doesn't mind you running your own [web]servers on your internet connection. Under many ISPs, it is against their terms and conditions. Good luck.
