IIRC, sunfreeware.com publishes SysV packages, so what you need to do is 
download the package in question, unpack/uncompress/whatever and then do 
"pkgadd -d <directory of package> <pkgname>"

that's the "pkg" command; see "man pkg" for details, subcommands etc. 
There's also a gui, the Update Manager, that you can find under 
System->Administration.
