As Eric wrote there are dozens of things you have to think about. But since you only ask for a pointer: If you search Google (and our ports directory) for "Content Management Systems (CMS)" and try to install one you will get some impression what can be done. I think ports/www/mambo (PHP based) or ports/www/plone (Python based) can be set up quite easily.
