Mmm. I misunderstood what you were looking to do when I first responded.
You should check out the sysutils/gtoaster port. It has an intuitive
interface and many features.

Personally, I only trust cdrecord and burncd, but gtoaster will probably
work just fine.

 Many popular CD burning programs now can burn an audio CD directly from the MP3 
files.
 
 
  I know how to rip cd tracks to mp3 format, but what do I do to go the
  other way - .mp3 to cd format so they can be played in my car stereo
  which doesn't play .mp3's? Is this possible?

You can also use XMMS to do this. As per the handbook at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-mp3.html:

16.3.4 Decoding MP3s

In order to burn an audio CD from MP3s, they must be converted to a
non-compressed WAV format. Both XMMS and mpg123 support the output of MP3 to an
uncompressed file format.

Writing to Disk in XMMS:

1.

Launch XMMS.

2.

Right-click on the window to bring up the XMMS menu.

3.

Select Preference under Options.

4.

Change the Output Plugin to ``Disk Writer Plugin''.

5.

Press Configure.

6.

Enter (or choose browse) a directory to write the uncompressed files to.

7.

Load the MP3 file into XMMS as usual, with volume at 100% and EQ 
settings turned
off.

8.

Press Play -- XMMS will appear as if it is playing the MP3, but no 
music will be
heard. It is actually playing the MP3 to a file.

9.

Be sure to set the default Output Plugin back to what it was before in order to
listen to MP3s again.

 You can also use XMMS to do this. As per the handbook at
 http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-mp3.html:


Just a little nit to pick. Some of the cd burning programs in ports put a
little tick at the beginning of the cut if you use wave files. This is
apparently the wave header getting detected as audio on the playback.

What you really want is raw 44100 pcm files, which you can easily get
from 'sox' with  'sox inputfile.wav outputfile.raw'. Then use these
to make your cd with no 'ticks'. You do this, of course, after using
xmms or lame or whatever to make the .wav files.

If you compare the .wav and the .raw files, you will see that 44 bytes
are missing..that's the 'tick'. You may not even care about this, but
it was making me crazier.

BTW 'audacity' will input wavs, raw and mp3 and output your choice and
let you edit them to boot.
