You can install the exim package or (if you need things like mysql lookups)
you can build it within the ports framework. See
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ .

Once you've installed exim, you'll need to edit
/usr/local/etc/exim/configure.default and rename it to
/usr/local/etc/exim/configure .
Next, add following line to your /etc/rc.conf:
sendmail_enable="NO"
Finally, if you're using FreeBSD 4.0, you should teach the
mailwrapper(8) program (which pretends to be /usr/sbin/sendmail) to use
exim by editing /etc/mail/mailer.conf in accordance with the
mailwrapper(8) manual page.
