I think you have to install it as a port... On the 3.2 cdrom (my subscription is not arrived yet so I can't say how 3.3 cdroms are organized...) mount the cdrom 4 (the ones with all distfiles) , then cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 make install && make clean If you don't have the /usr/ports/ populated in your HD you have to take the tree from the cdrom . Be sure to have mounted the cdrom with distfiles if you want to avoid a big download. Hope it helps...
