in a startup script (i'm not yet familiar with the bsd ones, i'm a linux user 
migrating to BSD) start the xdm or (if you use kde) kdm daemon, then you'll 
have a true graphical login.. a line like:

<path-to-kde>/bin/kdm

or

/usr/local/bin/xdm

should be enough.. read the xdm and/or kdm for configuring the daemons (which 
can be tricky sometimes, at least under linux it can ;-p
