Be careful about following that guide: it is somewhat out of date. (For
example, the sysutils/bacula port no longer exists, as I'm sure you discovered.)

Did you install the sysutils/bacula-server port? (I.e., did you do a "make
install" in the /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server directory to build and
install it?) If you did, it should have installed bconsole for you under
/usr/local. In my case, it shows it to be installed under /usr/local/sbin:
backup# which bconsole
/usr/local/sbin/bconsole
backup# file /usr/local/sbin/bconsole
/usr/local/sbin/bconsole: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for FreeBSD 8.0 (800505), not
stripped
You shouldn't be trying to run the bconsole shell script; run
/usr/local/sbin/bconsole directly.
Under FreeBSD, ports avoid putting configuration directories in the base
operating system directories, to avoid polluting the base system. The ports
system tries to keep them separate, usually under /usr/local. So, Bacula
installed from ports on FreeBSD will not use /etc/bacula, it uses
/usr/local/etc. The bconsole installed knows to look in /usr/local/etc for
configuration files.
Note, when you installed the Bacula server port, there will probably have been
some messages about adding entries to /etc/rc.conf to ensure the Bacula daemons
are run at system startup. Also, there will have been information indicating
that the configuration files for the daemons will have been installed in
/usr/local/etc and will need to be edited to suit your local setup.
If you want to know what files were installed by the Bacula server port, you
can use the following command: "pkg_info -L bacula-server-5.0.0_1"
Finally, Dan Langille is listed as the current maintainer of the
sysutils/bacula-server port. I believe Dan is subscribed to this list and
sometimes posts.
Cheers,
Paul.
