All,
  Thanks to everyone who responded on- and off- list. I just wanted to summarize the results in case anyone comes across this thread. 

  The URL http://blog.cochard.me/2013/03/xorg-for-freebsd-on-raspberry-pi.html gets you 99% of the way there.I had found copy of this link in my own adventures, and it no longer appears to work on its own. Ultimately, what I ended up with is a modification which does work... The addition of the "DefaultFbBpp 24" line in the screen section brings up the display. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but there are artifacts - particularly during mouse movement. The other common complaint seemed to be performance issues when the PI2 wasn't under load; it seemed to be ok with the couple of XTerms I had open, but I wasn't doing anything particularly complex, either.

  Below is the full text of my now-mostly-working xorg.conf file.
