It's been a while since I installed X Window, but what you're looking for
is a port for XFree86 (an open-source implementation of X Window).  If you
installed the ports tree (look for a list of directories in /usr/ports),
the XFree86 port is /usr/ports/XFree86.  cd to /usr/ports/XFree86, then
type make install.

If you didn't install the ports tree, you might be better off downloading
XFree86 from the XFree86 Project itself (or one of their mirrors) at
http://www.xfree86.org/.  The information on that site should get you
started.
