For example I remember there being a special work around for xfree or dri on an intel chipset, the i810 I think. If you change no software when you swap out the mb the command startx might not work if you had to do this work around. Also check the /boot/loader.conf file for modules, if you did not compile anything into the kernel. If you rebuilt the system from source with any cpu or system specifc options you will need to rebuild from source again. Depending on the cpu options you system might run fine or not boot at all.
