I was wondering if anyone could provide me an answer to the following questions. Please keep in mind that by default I learned Unix on a Linux system, so... please no flames :(. 1) Is there any sort of configuration interface (ncurses, X, etc), or am I 'stuck' with 'manually configuring' a textfile?
sysinstall does some of that. Personally, I find plain text files much easier to deal with than most semi-automated helper programs. There are things like webmin in the ports collection.
2) Is there a complete list of features which can be enabled for the kernel, other what was in the GENERIC configuration file?
See the LINT (4.x) or NOTES (5.x) files in the same directory.
3) What is needed for the FreeBSD kernel and what modules need to be compiled in order to use IDE CD-burning. In linux previous to kernel version 2.6.8 I know that SCSI was required, but now they are doing proper IDE emulation.
'man burncd' will show details about the stock IDE CD burning application. If you want to use SCSI emulation, there's the atapicam device. The man page for that shows setup.
