Please refer to the FreeBSD Handbook available on the www.freebsd.org
website.

But in summary:

1.  Run either xf86config or XF86Setup to configure X for your video
card
2.  Create an .xinitrc file, whose last line calls the window manager
you want to use, e.g
KDE, Gnome, etc.  I use Windowmaker.  Install one of these from the
ports
3.  Install the xwrappers port so you can run X without having the
server SETUID.
4.  Type startx.  Note kernel security level cannot be set too high, or
X will not run.

See the handbook or man pages for better explanations.  Good luck.  Rob.
