You need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools.

This will give you the tools like growisofs that allow you to burn a 
dvd.  You will also want to check out:

and

These have some nice tips on what to do in certain situations.

Lastly, for dvd+rw-tools you need atapicam; more information can be 
found in the second link above.
