Try Webmin.  [found in /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin]

[According to www.webmin.com] "Webmin is a web-based interface for 
system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables 
and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user 
accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.

Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs 
which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. 
The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and 
use no non-standard Perl modules."

I use Webmin + SSH for systems administration of a few RH servers and a 
couple of FreeBSD servers. It works great.
