None of the software you mention here is platform-specific to FreeBSD  
(or Linux, or to any particular OS).  Go to DJB's site, or "life with  
qmail", or www.postfix.org, and read away.  However, you could also  
start with:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail- 
using.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

...then "cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix" (or /usr/ports/mail/qmail) and  
"make install".

There is nothing wrong with people trying and experimenting with lots  
of different approaches, but consistency has its own value.
