You may want to check the www/varnish port. From the ports description:

This is the Varnish high-performance HTTP accelerator.

Documentation and additional information about Varnish is available on
<URL:http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/>.

Technical questions about Varnish and this release should be addressed
to <varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no>.

Questions about commercial support and services related to Varnish
should be addressed to <varnish@linpro.no>.

WWW: http://www.varnish-cache.org/

And from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varnish_cache

I've never used it myself, but looks interesting since it's been created
by Poul-Henning Kamp which is a major FreeBSD developer.

HTH,

David
