One way to do this is to set up an X-windows "server" (display
manager) running on the PC under XP.  Cygwin is one possibility,
and the only free one that immediately comes to mind.  There are
also commercial offerings.

Another way is to install one of the VNC server ports on the FreeBSD
machine, and run a VNC viewer on the PC.
