upsmon, in ports, does a good job of managing a single-pc, single-ups
setup, but there hasn't been any updates in a long time.

The "smart ups tools" at http://www.exploits.org/~rkroll/smartupstools/
are being actively maintained, support a bunch of UPS models, and can
manage multiple UPSes and PCs.  The last version I tried (0.41.4) had
some pretty big autoconf and compilation problems though.  Hopefully
it'll get better.

For now I'd recommend upsmon, but keep an eye on the UPS tools.
