This is a simple hack, taken from FreeBSD/OpenBSD, to FabBSD's ls(1) to use ANSI sequences to display file attributes in color. There is a -G flag (somewhat similar to the -F flag). Take a look at the man page for details. The program is called "colorls", so you may want to use an alias such as ls=${PREFIX}/bin/colorls. Note that you need a color-capable terminal to enable colorls. This means you should set your TERM to "wsvt25" on the wscons(4) console and to "xterm-xfree86" when using normal xterm, not "vt220" and "xterm", respectively, which are not color-capable in termcap(5).
