Reinstalling probably broke your ifconfig_xxx lines in /etc/rc.conf.  Go
back in there and verify that they are sane.

1.  Install the enlightenment port (in ports/x11).  

2.  Modify .xinitrc (if you use `startx') or .xsession (if you start xdm
on system startup) and add `exec enlightenment' to the bottom. Make sure
the file is executable, it's a script.

Know where you can get addiitonal themes for enlightenment?  They're not
on the master site.  IMHO enlightenment is a little more pretty than
useful, but I'm easily impressed :-)
