As Brian noted, sending email to your phone is the best bet to make,
but if you're still interested in using SMS directly, there are
numerous apps for doing this.

One protocol for doing this is SNPP, for alphanumeric paging, and on
my FreeBSD box I find the following for that protocol:

Port:   qpage-3.3_3
WWW:    http://www.qpage.org/

Port:   p5-Net-SNPP-1.17
WWW:    http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-SNPP/

Port:   sendSNPP-v1.03_1
WWW:    http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendSNPP/

There are also perl modules and standalone programs to send SMS
messages that don't mention a protocol in the FreeBSD ports
collection:

Port:   o2sms-3.26

Port:   p5-SMS-Send-0.04

I would guess that all of the above are ports from the Linux world, so
one of them should be useful to you.
