How to install and start Tor on FreeBSD?

I have installed the Tor on a VDS on the FreeBSD v. 8.0-STABLE, set
tor_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and reboot my system but the Tor daemon
did not start.
I see that I have no file "torrc" in my system, do I need create it
manually? If "yes", can I simply copy it from my Debian home system (to
the FreeBSD on a VDS)? Or I need make some configurations in that file?
P.S. I think I don't have to install privoxy if I don't inted to use
that VDS as a remote Tor-proxy for my home system, only as a Tor server
for public needs for protecting and sponsoring the Tor project?
