Most of it should already be on your system, have a look at the man-pages.
If you want to use the ppbus interface to control the port :
man lpt(4), ppbus(4) and ppi(4)

If you want to directly address the ports registers yourself without using the 
driver interface :
man io(4) and have a look at /usr/include/machine/cpufunc.h

On FreeBSD you need to have opened /dev/io before your program is allowed to 
do direct IO to any device, and on Linux you need to successfully call 
ioperm() first.
