Here are my recommendations for servers:
Apache - Web server, best choice on FreeBSD
OpenSSH - Secure telent-like server, included in base install
OpenSSH - secure ftpd, providesa secure ftp server, also in base system
IFilter - firewall with IPNAT for NATting connections.

The novice install will work fine.
