I have built many things from ports on both my Pi and my BeagleBone
under both 10.x and now under 11.x

True, but since the hardware specific stuff should be in from xorg
because the Pi guys put Linux on these things by default I have a
strong belief it will work.  You might want to boot under Linux and see
what Xserver setup they use so you can build the same under FreeBSD.
At the moment I am not worried about X under FreeBSD on my little
machines.  I have an Xterminal that they will be stuck on the back of
when I am satisfied that I have them doing what I want.
