Your freebsd box allready has sendmail installed. All you have to do is 
put your registered domain name in the file /etc/mail/local-host-names 
and sendmail will accept mail for username at yourdomain.com. 
You may also want to take a look at the file /etc/mail/aliases and the
command newaliases.
To setup a pop3 server you'll have to install something like qpopper
(pkg_add -r qpopper) and put the following line in your /etc/inetd.conf:

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/qpopper qpopper

After which you must restart inetd.
