Also, if you want to pay for a commercial x-server, like Metro-X or AcceleratedX or something, then that feature is available as part of the server package. Look in /usr/ports/x11 or better yet, go into /stand/sysinstall and look thru the individual packages since there will be a small, concise description at the bottom when you're scrolling thru the packages.
