Has anyone ported cfingerd to freebsd yet? Its a really great fingerd 
replacement. You can configure it to show what information you want, customize
what sites see what (and display messages depending on what site requests)
and you can even tell it to display bogus information (to entrap would-be
crackers).

The guy that wrote it made it a little less 'linux specific' but porting
something is way beyond my programming skills. Please let me know if anyone
has some tips on getting it to run on freebsd 2.0.5.

It can be found at:
