Recompile and install the with X*4-Server from /usr/ports/x11-servers.
Your X server was built on a RC kernel base not the RELEASE the /dev/io
mappings are slightly different. 

The following is the offending line in your snippet....

Build Operating System: FreeBSD 5.0-RC i386 [ELF]

It should say 

Build Operating System: FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE i386 [ELF]

It will then work and make sure you do a make buildworld if you upgraded
to make sure all your libs are also RELEASE not RC....
