See /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4/pkg-message:
************************************************************************
* To improve security, the X server is installed without an SUID bit. *
* This is suitable for use with xdm, but not with a startx script. *
* If you need to use a startx script, install the x11/wrapper package. *
************************************************************************
> >Fix:
Install /usr/ports/x11/wrapper
