Actually, a better route would be to make a port of the wall paper. The base system doesn't hold much stuff that is strictly decorative, and it doesn't include X window system stuff either. All that generally comes from the ports. See the Porter's Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index= .html for instructions on how to create and submit a port. As you're pretty much just downloading a single file and installing it to some location under /usr/X11R6 without having to do any compilation or anything, it should be a pretty simple port to create.
