Hi Michael,
have a quick search on the web - there are several pages with explanations on
how other people has done it. Don't worry too much if the page says Linux
variant x, y or z - most of the software used should work on FreeBSD - just
check the software's pages ....they may even be in ports (like lighty,etc)...

good luck :)
