There are the software i use on my computers, for a fully fonctionnal console station :
editors/easyedit : you can also make it the default editor of a user by editing ~/.cshrc and ~/.profile
editors/vim : much more advanced than vi. If you install gvim for to have a gtk GUI, don't install it, as the gvim package build also vim for console.
mail/fetchmail : to fetch mail from an external mail server
mail/mutt : to read mail
chat/micq : to chat on icq. Run it once, it will create ~/.micq/micqrc file. Quit it and edit this file to add your ICQ password. Run it again, and after a well-done login, just type : "contact import"
chat/bitchx : to chat on irc
net/lftp : an great unix ftp client
sysutils/cdrecord : usefull if you have a CD / DVD writer (also contain mkisofs)
I actualy advise you to test them all in console, and take time to be used to work with your console, as it is always here, even if you don't have access directly to your computer, SSH POWER !!!
This is really useful...
For specific use, you can also install :
audio/lame : to encode audioYou need to accept the license and edit mk.conf, as it is said :
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=fee-based-commercial-license
audio/cdparanoia : to recover bad audio CDs on wav
graphics/povray : to generate images by eralistic rendering from a .pov file, all in one command line ;-)You need to accept the license and edit mk.conf, as it is said :
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=povray-license
graphics/ImageMagick : to edit and convert images in command line, really useful.
There are the software I use for a fully fonctionnal X station :
mail/fetchmailconf (GUI for fetchmail)
graphics/gimp
graphics/blender (only if you can activate dri in X, otherwise it is really useless)
devel/SDL
editors/nedit
devel/anjuta
multimedia/mplayer
www/mozilla

wm/fluxbox
wm/xfce4-wm et wm/xfce4-wm-themes

There are the software I am using on most of my servers :
webmin : great tool to amdin your server. However use it only if you already know how NetBSD OS is working... v1.17 -> modification : /etc/rc.conf in System/Shutdown and Reboot section
