Easy to try are graphics/xpdf and print/gv,
a GTK+ (or perhaps GNOME)-related one is graphics/evince,
and KDE-related ones is graphics/okular.

There are also - but I haven't tried them:

graphics/epdfview
graphics/mupdf
print/qpdfview


I am oblivious to their exact options and requirements,
but I'm positive that you'll figure that out.
