The relevant port is x11-servers/xorg-server but that is automatically installed by x11/xorg so there is no need to install it by itself. If you have a recently updated ports tree then xorg-server uses the OPTIONS mechanism letting you choose if you want to use sysutils/hal or not. If you have an older ports tree you will have to specify 'WITHOUT_HAL=yes' on the commandline when you start the make. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
