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.
