It provides org.freedesktop.ColorManager D-Bus service and it should be started automatically by dbus-daemon whenever an application tries to access that service. When I run "colormgr get-devices" colord is started. So make sure you have dbus_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and that it is running (run "service dbus status" and "service dbus start"). You may also need to have xfce4-session installed and start xfce using "startxfce4 --with-ck-launch".
