The easiest way would be to:
1. Copy the contents of the example directory into a directory that
_rwhoisd owns (I like to use /var/rwhoisd, so `cp -R
/usr/local/share/doc/rwhoisd/examples/* /var/rwhoisd/`)
2. Run the rwhois_indexer like so: `/usr/local/bin/rwhois_indexer -c
/var/rwhoisd/rwhoisd.conf -i -s "txt"`
3. Make applicable changes to rwhoisd.conf ('userid: _rwhoisd' and
'use-syslog: YES' should be the only options you need to change)
4. Run the daemon (`cd /var/rwhoisd && rwhoisd`).
Then you can test it using telnet to port 4321 (just enter '10.0.0.1'
after connecting if you're using the sample data); it binds to all inet4
interfaces.

do you have templates or some simple way of configuring this bastard to

I had this port working the last time I posted it, but with the
changes to the ports system it needed some updates. It never
actually made it into the ports tree (which is fine), but just in
case there are people using this that have run into problems, I've
been hacking away and got it working again.
Please see ARIN's rwhoisd server port tarball, attached. Testers
would be appreciated, inclusion into the ports tree would be nice,
too.
