There are probably a dozen ports that do this, all in the comms category of
the ports tree.  You can choose anything from a dumb telnet interface with
no line control (comserv, ser2net, tcpser), to a RFC-2217 interface that
gives you full low-level control over a remote serial port (sredird), to a
"managed" system like with optional encryption and per-user access control
(conserver).
