There are options there to tie it to an ODBC data source for that.

Lots of good info there. But be warned SIP and NAT are a huge headache  
together.

That's not quite true. Linux and BSD are different OS's and  
applications like Asterisk which are written specifically for Linux  
need some porting to work properly under BSD. However, it is pretty  
easy to install on FreeBSD:

# portinstall asterisk

if you don't have portinstall, then Google that and install it. Very  
useful tool.
