No. On my box, there's a line that looks like this:
ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
That's the one you should change.
If you only 1 monitor and none on the FreeBSD host, you also have to tweak
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and comment out the:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
so that xdm doesn't attempt to start an Xserver on the FreeBSD host
when it starts up.
