If you want to see ports or=20 packages you have installed yourself, the pkg_version=20 command and the var/db/pkg directory are good places=20 to look. If you're looking for binaries or ports by name, the whereis command is nice. For more thorough searching for various types of files, there's find of course. One possibility as to why XFree86 isn't showing up is that you asked "too soon." Have you tried again after rebooting or a "rehash" command? There are excellent articles on setting up X with a window manager and connecting to the Net with a modem at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 (they're the two oldest articles in the series).
