It's quite simple to set up a Web server. Just install the apache port from ftp.freebsd.org and start putting web pages in /usr/local/www/data. A machine restart (or running httpd) gets you up and running. Mail is similarly easy, but it depends on how you want the mail to be sent, via POP or whatever. News is a bit trickier. It requires a huge amount of diskspace and a bit of configuration finesse. The mail archies at http://www.freesd.org would be a good resource for you.
