Why not just setup the mail/openwebmail port in a test-environment and 
go from there?

I would, personally, not call myself anything near "knowledgeable" in 
FreeBSD, but I have _never_ stumbled upon a piece of software which I 
had to spend more than a few hours to setup and get working properly 
with sane configuration, even if I had to read the documentation.

So, don't worry, OpenWebmail should be working fine in FreeBSD. Seing as 
this is an application which interacts with Apache, and not the OS 
itself, everything should be nearly the same as on a Linux system.
