Well, for "newbie" questions, you'll have better luck on
freebsd-questions at freebsd.org.  However, you will find that MOST of the
startup scripts for ported applications reside in either
${LOCALBASE}/etc/rc.d (where LOCALBASE usually equals /usr/local) or
${X11BASE}/etc/rc.d (where X11BASE usually equals /usr/X11R6). 
Sometimes the port will install the script with ".sample"
prepended--this will have to be removed before the port will start.

Be advised that, if you are running -CURRENT, there are significant
issues with /etc/rc.d/localpkg at the moment . . ..
