The packages "installed" on your system are listed in "/var/db/pkg". If you see an entry for XFree86 in that directory then just use the pkg_delete command on the name of the associated package. If you do not see an entry for XFree86 in that directory then your only alternative is to remove it by hand. If you don't mind rebuilding all of your ports (which you will probably do anyway) then uninstall all of the X related ports and then "rm -fr /usr/X11R6" to blow away the X directory. -- Note: See http://www.members.home.net/graywane/ for PGP information.
