There is no .xsession-errors generated.  XFree86.0.log says

----
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 January 2002
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6 i386 [ELF]
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
         (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
         (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Fri Jun  7 16:56:07 2002
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file

Fatal server error:
no screens found

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.

Note that I'm using ttyv8 turned on here.  But if I turn it off, or substitute 
the path to kdm instead of xdm, I get exactly the same thing in XFree86.0.log 
and no .xsession-errors file.  I think my computer is just cursed  :)
