I have never used FreeBSD, but i am excited to see that there are only four (?) config interfaces used in these instructions! That sounds about right, depending on how you count "copy this sample configuration file into place". FreeBSD has the concept that /etc/rc.conf is a "master configuration file", not just for turning features on and off but also for setting command line options. More complex daemons -- e.g. devd and crond -- have their own configuration files as well, but in most cases they also have configuration directories allowing you to add configuration by creating new files rather than editing an existing one.
