If you click near it, the program will automatically "snap" to the
point. There is an option in the Preferences dialog named 'Highlight
Points'. If it isn't already on, turn it on and you'll see little boxes
around each Point entity. If you click within the box then the "snap"
should occur. If it doesn't happen you've most likely found a bug.

You wrote earlier that you are using the R28 release. That release is
quite old and a number of bugs have been fixed, plus various
improvements to the program have been added. I'm not familiar 
with the BSD ports system to know if a newer releases is available, but
if so I'd try to use it. If you don't mind pulling the code straight
from the public Subversion repo that would be an even better choice.
