Please tell your boss that running FP extensions is an invitation for
hackers and will be more of a maintainance headache than anything.

Please read /usr/ports/ww/mod_frontpage/pkg-message.  You should have seen
this message when you did the "make install" in mod_frontpage.  You have to
do all of these steps in order to configure a website for FrontPage.
