We used Julian's mailscanner install pkg, and his clam+SA install pkg. 
Create a /opt directory and follow Julian's instructions. You will need 
to modify the startup scripts to fit FreeBSD but that is pretty trivial.

Our start scripts are a bit more heavily modified than needed because we 
also split our messages, run clamd, some milters, and a few other 
oddities. Our scripts are not like the ports scripts, or like Julian's, 
but any decent bash hack will work to get things started ;^)
