FreeBSD runs bind as part of the system.  Check the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dns.html

to configure it.

There are DNS ports, but the BIND name server is native to the 
system. You just need to config and enable it.

If you don't want BIND, DNS ports would be in ports/net.

/usr/ports/dns/bind9/

Read the Handbook for information on how to set things up.
Additionally, I'd suggest checking out Greg Leahy's FreeBSD book, now
available in downloadable PDF format from
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/.  Even better, buy it.

If you don't have a registered domain name, note that the example.org
domain is reserved for such uses; but any fantasy name should work,
providing the name you choose doesn't conflict with a real (registered)
domain.  

You'll also most likely want to add a DHCP server.

cd /usr/ports  make search name=dhcp

The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
