Did you read section 14.1.4 POP Servers in the handbook?

/etc/inetd.conf:

# example entry for the pop3 server
pop3    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/libexec/popper       popper
#pop2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper
#pop stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper
                                                                 
Get for instance /pub/FreeBSD/packages-current/All/qpop-2.1.4.3.tgz 

pkg_add qpop-2.1.4.3.tgz 

Edit /etc/inetd.conf

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
