If you use the port you should get .sample versions of the configuration files 
will be installed.

If you're not.. why not? It's by far the easiest way to install software in 
FreeBSD.

It can't find gd. Either you don't have it installed or you didn't tell 
configure where to look for it.

You can build the port with CGI support by doing..
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/nut
make WITH_NUT_CGI= install

If you feel you can't use ports then make sure gd is installed and run NUT's 
configure like so..

env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure ..

and it should find it.
