You don't have /usrX11R6/bin in your path, try editing
/etc/login.conf and adding "/usr/X11R6/bin" to the line
with the word "path" at the front:
default:\
:copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
:welcome=/etc/motd:\
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,EDITOR=/usr/bin/ee:\
:path=~/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin:\
:manpath=/usr/share/man /usr/local/man:\
^
here ----------------------------------------------/
then run:
cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
to rebuild the login.conf database.
