look at the sudo program, it's in the ports collection.
it has a configuration, which describes which user is allowed 
to do tasks as a root.

but, once you gave somebody all the root's rights, it's not possible to
watch what he/she did. 

do not allow 'sudo' for 

1. cp 
2. rm
3. dd
4. passwd
5. ? 

it's not safe at all.
