Sure, but I guess this assumes that his input comes from an
application that has a print feature.  If his input is a TeX file,
say, he probably wants a TeTeX installation.  If his input is some
source code, he probably wants a2ps and, as you mention below, ps2pdf.

Sure, but I guess this assumes that his input is a supported file
type.

Sure, but now the OP's original question just becomes "how do I
produce PostScript output on FreeBSD."  I still think it would be
handy to know what the OP is actually trying to do.
