It looks like you have only one choice with prebuilt rkhunter package only:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/announce.html  

dvd1
This contains everything necessary to install the base FreeBSD operating system,
a collection of pre-built packages aimed at getting a graphical workstation up
and running. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. This
should be all you need if you can burn and use DVD-sized media.

rkhunter-1.3.8_1.tbz 		04/18/12 	18:56:00

With regard to verification of config  files - you said you got backups (those
pre-incident would be best) and you have the incident-time files, so do a diff
on dirs (in particular /etc and /usr/local/etc)
