I am having this same problem. I finally gave up on xf86cfg and went through
xf86config (text based). X comes up fine now. It appears that
'X -configure'/xf86cfg are broken. If anyone having problems configuring
XFree86-4.x with xf86cfg, try xf86config.

[ cvsup'd latest ports tree]
# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
# make
# make install
Put in a copy of a working XF86Config into /etc/X11 (see attached copy).
Make sure the /usr/X11R6/bin/X points to XFree86. In addition to the
config file, you also need to add the following to /boot/loader.conf:
agp_load="YES
This will load the agp.ko module automatically when you next boot up.
However, if you don't want to reboot you can run:
# kldload agp.ko
Then:
# startx
Hope this helps.
