have a look at this port /usr/ports/net/ntlmaps/pkg-descr it should be on the dvd. Combined with the http_proxy env variables you should be able to sit it between your ms proxy with ntlm auth and the cli tools to abstract them from the auth issue. Ive not used it myself so so hopefully it will work from you. If not maybe something could be done with squid or another socks proxy.
