It can't find your X11 server, either because you didn't install one
(like XF86_S3 or XF86_SVGA), or you didn't have the install program create
the X link for you. /usr/X11R6/bin/X should be a soft link to your X
server, mine says:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 7 Sep 24 19:11 X@ -> XF86_S3
If you installed an X11 server, you can create the link yourself:
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_putyourserverhere /usr/X11R6/bin/X
Be happy...
