As a MTA, I'd recommend 'postfix', since it's rather easy to set up (ports/postfix). Documentation can be found at http://www.postfix.org. If you install it, be sure to have a look at the example configuration files in /usr/local/etc/postfix. Be careful not to build an open mail relay (consider the use of ASMTP)! If you decide to use sendmail that comes with the FreeBSD base system, there is a chapter in the handbook (reading through that might be a good idea anyways) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail.html. I don't have a lot of experience with pop3 or imap servers (which you will probably need in order to acces your mail), so I cannot comment on that.
