Aside from the aforementioned pkg_add net-snmp... 

There is a decent tutorial on the net-snmp web site... and some other
decent ones around for mtrg...  Chroot httpd will take some finessing
to get it to display the mrtg data, or run it unchrooted if you are on
a less important box.

The other thing is the rrdtool for mrtg, which is less supported by
mrtg but is a lot more efficent.  Instead of generating graphics every
5 minutes, it does them on demand.  The database method is also
supposedly better.  The mrtg site also has a lot of information on
them.  Once SNMP is configured on the system to be monitored, it should
only take a few minutes to get it running.  the mrtg configurator will
detect the nics on the remote system and build a default config for you.

I just did this yesterday, and have not gotten around to mapping
anything besides network traffic... but there is a ton you can do with
it.  Very exciting stuff.  See the rrdtool site for some other nice
graph examples.

G'luck
