Yes.  As luck would have it I wrote a guide to installing it on FreeBSD
as well.  You can read the article here:

The article covers installing exim with support for pwcheck on freebsd.
Whilst pwcheck is now deprecated and it still works, it should still
help you out.

Remember to install the exim documentation as well - whilst quite terse,
the documentation is very comprehensive.  As the other poster mentions
check for existing configurations as well and also check the exim-users
list for some ideas - try searching here:
