which is part of the ports tree:
/usr/ports/lang/expect
$ cat /usr/ports/lang/expect/pkg-descr
Expect is a program that performs programmed dialogue with other
interactive programs. It is briefly described by its man page, expect(1).
It uses pseudo-tty's to control the child processes, so it is not affected
by programs that refuse to read from stdin or pipes. (eg: passwd(1) etc).
