You can also install it via /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 (and related). If
you're running a current version of the ports tree, add
XFREE86_VERSION=4 to /etc/make.conf, so that ports that are aware of
the difference will know which to expect.

What you *won't* get is access to the TV tuner, video input, and such
like goodies :-(. However, video output works fine in the same modes
it works for Windows. I routinely watch my system boot in an fxtv
window (talking to a cheap brooktree TV card).
