For the long version, the following two articles are good references:

<URL: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/06/21/FreeBSD_Basics.html>

<URL: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/06/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html>

Short version:

# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/$WINDOW MANAGER

# make install clean

P.S. More people will look at your questions if your subject lines 
describe the contents more specifically.  "hi there" could easily have
