Not a FreeBSD user of any experience. I got far enough to try pkg_add, but get:
(Emacs is the best tool I know for working with log files; it's the only thing that handles the size of log files reliably. I spent a year once reading a lot of 20MB log files on an 8MB Sun workstation, and Emacs just ate it up. Also my fingers have used Emacs for all serious editing since 1981 and they just don't adapt to other editors very well any more -- I routinely find myself six commands down some path or other before my brain processes the input from my eyes saying it's not doing what I expected.)
# pkg_add -r emacs-nox11
