First off what is IPSEC? And if I compiled it into my kernel where would I 
find tutorials on setting it up.


See http://www.networkcomputing.com/1019/1019f1.html for a good high-level 
description of IPSEC.

To implement an IPSEC VPN (I'm assuming here), I used 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html. For 
convenience, you can use racoon to handle your key exchange.


And for a desktop BSD machine, no server, would it affect my system in any 
way if I took out options     INET(6)

Taking INET6 out won't hurt you.
