The standard answer you will get here is "we don't care about fancy installers, as long as it's working great" or "if you want it, do it yourself". But I suggest that you take a look at pc-bsd (http://www.pcbsd.org/). It is bsd with a nice and easy installer and a good system for installing programs. Hope this helps, Beni.
