No idea; presumably, the right keymap would allow you to do that. See
kdb(8), noting that there is also a kbd(4), and /etc/rc or /etc/kbtype
to get this to work as expected.

Why not just use packages? You probably did something wrong (no idea
what, without details), but debugging it most likely takes longer than
installing a package.

See /etc/sudoers.

No, pkg_add is in base. Use packages, again.
If you do insist on using ports, yes, you'll have to install gmake;
there is a line 'USE_GMAKE=Yes' in the port.

No idea, especially without a dmesg, but usually fiddling around with
the 'g' command in disklabel can get that particular tool to see what
you want it to.
