I don't use xdm.

I put configuration files in /usr/local/etc/X11/xinit/ and then
startx /usr/local/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.icewm

For other window managers, I usr xinitrc.jwm, xinitrc.twm, etc in place of xinitrc.icewm .

I remember Xfce includes startxfce4.

Building and installing Xorg from FreeBSD ports does not include xdm; however building Xorg from NetBSD pkgsrc (which I have done only on NetBSD) includes xdm with the meta-package.
