The best trick is to walk out the ferry terminal, and follow the signs for the motorway to Lille and eventually you'll be on a big roundabout with the road leading uphill with a bay that vehicles can stop on next to the "no people" signs that all the other hitchers have written all over :) stand by the signs and you'll get a brave trucker stop for you.
Almost all car traffic head south Paris wise, and its a nightmare getting back on the motorway if you come off there, so try to flag someone with a sign saying D or PL.
 
Somewhatofftheway waited about four rainy hours here for a ride to Reims so if you are in a hurry, try to get a ride on the ferry by asking people on the boat. Standing at the roundabout itself is quite interesting as you will be watching immigrants trying to get into England constantly running up and down trying to sneak into a truck.
