I usually use nmap to do a quick scan of a machine once I think I've taken down everything I want kept turned off. You can build it from the /usr/ports/security/nmap directory. The other place to make sure stuff is turned off is in /etc/rc.conf. There are a large number of config options that you can use to turn off things (like, say, sendmail). You should also look into ipfw or ipfilter, both of which let you set up a firewall to restrict access to services that you might want to keep running.
