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.
