Xorg has replaced XFree86 as the window manager for FreeBSD as well as 
most Linux distros. Xorg is a newer version of XFee86. I would check 
out X.org for a little info. The process for setting up Xorg is mostly 
the same as for XFree86, you just replace XFree86 with Xorg wherever 
needed. It's been a while since I installed Xorg, but I believe the 
handbook (at freebsd.org) has instructions for both XFree86 and Xorg 
setup and configuration.
