Check out the ports for colorls and gnuls.  They both provide color-coding.

If you want to colors to instantly look like they do in Linux, you're best bet
is to use gnuls.

I don't know the shell you're suing so I'll provide a csh/tcsh example by
making an alias in your .cshrc file like so...

alias ls 'gnuls --color=auto'

...to add the functionality to the ls command.

Hope this helps,

Jeremy Falcon
