As others mentioned, you need to edit Apache's httpd.conf.

FreeBSD does not enable its firewall by default, so unless that port is
used by another program, it should be open.

> And where/how would one open and close those ports?

Depends on the firewall you are running. You need to edit the firewall's
configuration file. For pf, it's /etc/pf.conf. IIRC, ipf uses
/etc/ipf.rules or something similar.
