Do sockstat or fstat, you'll see which process is listening on port
7000.

afs is (if I'm not mistaken), the Andrew File System software. It's not
part of FreeBSD's base. When you do netstat, it translates ports numbers
to service names, based on the contents of /etc/services. That doesn't
mean it's actually that service that is running. Try what I mentioned
above and you'll see which dameon is listening on that port.
