Sendmail will do the MTA job just fine. BSD has a popper daemon which
will allow KMail to POP the messages from the server. If you wish to
use IMAP you will need to look into Courier, or QMail, or another IMAP
server.
DNS should already be running elsewhere in your infrastructure, but it
can be run on FreeBSD if you want to. FreeBSD has BIND/named included
in the base installation.

Apache is good.
> 3. Is it enough to configure just sendmail and DNS?
Yes - for email. You need Apache (or similar) for HTTP.

Likewise from South Africa :)
