The only OS dependent part of virtual hosting is providing multiple
IP addresses on a single (or few) interfaces.  FreeBSD does this very
well.  man ifconfig

Yes, the programs you choose to provide the services are the
key.  Luckily, all the best do.  For http use Apache.  For ftp
use wu-ftpd.  For e-mail the stock sendmail works just fine though
you probably want to pick up the latest copy to stay ahead of
the bug of the week club.

Apache and wu-ftpd are available as packages, sendmail is part
of the base system.  See http://www.sendmail.org if you want
the latest and greatest.
