1.  Install apache.  Apache is the de facto standard web server for
FreeBSD.  use 'pkg_add'.

2.  I believe that by default, /usr/local/www/data/ is the top level of
the server.  Ie, put your homepage as 'index.html' there.  Youwill want to
poke around the configuration files in www/server/conf and make sure they
are in order.

3.  Edit /etc/rc.local.  Add the line

/usr/local/etc/httpd

to start teh server automatically at boot.  

That should do it.  Pretty easy.  See the Apache documentation (and link
to NCSA httpd docs) at
