The port takes about 5 seconds to install - /usr/ports/x11/wrapper. One "gotcha" - you should have an /etc/make.conf file that tells wrapper you're running XFree-86 version 4.x. To do this, if you haven't already, copy /etc/defaults/make.conf to /etc, then uncomment anything you want to enable, including a line regarding XFree version=4.
