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 > I would imagine that would be dependent upon the daemon 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.
