Please don't cross post -- I think this is an obvious case where 
freebsd-x11@ is the place to ask.  If you were unable to get an answer 
there, then you could think about asking elsewhere.

Read the archives of the freebsd-x11@ list 
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/).  There has been 
extensive discussion on this topic.  xorg ports are being added while 
trying not to break XFree86 ports.  This is currently being held up by 
an update to imake; once that is completed XFree86 4.4 should go in and 
it looks like we should have a full xorg port shortly afterward.  The 
specific message where much of this info was obtained:
