That's usually not an executable, but a symlink. Just choose the right
display server (let's say XF86_SVGA) and create the symlink:

	cd /usr/X11R6/bin
	ln -s XF86_SVGA X

If they were installed with pkg_add, sysinstall or from the ports tree,
then yes. Have a look at /var/db/pkg/ .

The files installed for a port are usually in /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS .

Ciao,
