While it's not exactly a FreeBSD thing, I heard about this website a few weeks ago: http://www.efax.com/ and it looked useful.


As to things in ports, a quick psearch for fax turns up a few things that might be worth investigating:

Code:
 comms/acfax               Receive faxes using sound card and radio
 comms/efax                Fax send/receive program
 comms/efax-gtk            GUI front end for the efax fax program
 comms/gfax                A Mono based pop-up fax manager
 comms/ghfaxviewer         GNOME compliant fax viewer capable of displaying TIFF  G3 faxes
 comms/hamfax              QT application for sending and receiving facsimiles o ver radio
 comms/hylafax             Fax software
 comms/mgetty+sendfax      Handle external logins, send and receive faxes
comms/pyla                Hylafax client written in Python
comms/qsstv               Amateur Radio SSTV/FAX reception program for unix
comms/tkhylafax           A tcl/tk interface to Sam Leffler's fax package
 comms/tkscanfax           Tcl/Tk frontend for fax scan/receive/send program (co mmand is tkfax)
 comms/viewfax             Display files containing g3 and/or g4 coded fax pages
 net/astfax                AstFax provides an outgoing email to fax gateway for  Asterisk
net/asterisk              An Open Source PBX and telephony toolkit

If you're not anticipating much need for sending or receiving faxes at a later date, I'd personally suggest print the file and drive down to the nearest telifacsimile machine; less to screw with.
