In addition to Erik's comments, sysinstall *does* handle the install of Xorg, so I'd highly recommend going with that. I didn't even think about installing XFree86, so I don't actually remember if it gives you a choice when you tell it to install the X server. X.org is every bit as smooth as XFree86 - no reason it shouldn't be since it's branched from the same codebase, and from everything I hear, it'll be much easier going forward if you move to Xorg now.
