Red Hat -> FreeBSD. Need some help

Due to the Red Hat situation I want to get a FreeBSD box and learn how to update packages, compile kernel and to know what are the main differences.

First of all.

In RH we use rpm packages, do we have something similar in FreeBSD. Are yo sure FreeBSD will not close support for it's product like Red Hat will do (7.3, 8.0)?

Kernel

I never compiled kernel on RH system. I was always using up2date and it worked fine. Are there any kernel packages available for FreeBSD? Can you give me docs on how to compile my own?

Firewall

In RH I use APF, any alternatives for FreeBSD?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
