I wanted to know pretty much the same question and went searching the archives
and FAQs.  I came across what seemed like an old FAQ-type thing saying that
SWiM had a Motif (1.2 I think) for FreeBSD 1.X.  It was only available at the
ACC Bookstore in Westport CT.

Well, I called and they had Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD 2.X.  I have had it installed
for a little over a month now with no problems.  I've been busy playing around
with drivers somewhat and haven't had a lot of time for doing as much work
(Motif development) with it as I'd like.  But I did set it up and compile a
few things on it.  Like xmcd (pretty awesome) and nedit (great editor).  I
am running the February snapshot (2.0.2?) and only had to change a couple of
things to get both to compile cleanly.

I did have a problem with the install script that came with SWiM and a few
other little things that I had to do to get it installed properly.  But I
did keep a log and developed a little help/readme file for it.  I was going
to send this to Jordan but never got around to it.

If you do end up getting SWiM ($149) and want my little help file, just shoot
me some email.
