The FreeBSD handbook is a good place to start.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
(this is linked from the front page of www.freebsd.org)

Section 20.4 is about configuring your system for accepting incoming calls.

Chapter 21 is about PPP and SLIP, and 21.2.1.3.3 also talks about receiving
incoming calls, referring to getty and mgetty.

Regards,

Brian.
