install the port called `colorls`

then edit your shell profile script and add an alias for it.
Works for me :) I just have these alias's defined in .cshrr but I use tcsh
as my shell.

----

alias   la          ls -a
alias   lf          ls -FA
alias   ls          'colorls -Gal'
alias   ll          ls -lgsA


Cheers !
