I'm not aware of any such tool, but the base system maintains everything interesting configuration-wise in /etc, which you can simply tar up. If you use a custom kernel config or custom /boot/loader.conf, you will want to back those up as well, but this is easily done by putting these two files in /etc and making symlinks. For third-party packages installed through ports, you probably want /usr/local/etc plus the output of pkg_info(1).
