The easiest was to run games is to but /usr/games into your path, or "cd
/usr/games" and run a game by prepending "./". There4s also dm, but well...

Have you installed XWindow yet? If not, you will have to go to
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and "make all install clean", and do the same in
XFree86-contrib.

If you have installed XWindow, add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path to run it.
