One question for you before I answer yours. I still have to kill dhclient and netstart after a reboot. Did you imply that after wiping out the hostname in rc.conf you can reboot and your dhcp is up? Now for your question. I have not had any problems starting x before or after. I was always redoing the /stand/sysinstall to get the dhcp up and then startx so that I had a network. Have you checked your /etc/hosts for the correct hostname? When I did not have that set properly, I had x complaining, but not just a grey screen.
