try doing # startx or #gdm or #kde
if non works , you probably dont have a DM.
if that is the case just go into /usr/ports/x11
go into either KDE/Gnome/fluxbox/whatever and do
#make install clean

after that youll need to configure the XF86Config
and thats a whole other thing so we'll leave it till then 
:)
