If you're using xdm(1) or one of the other similar display managers that are started out of ttys(5) then X is started by a root process anyhow, and doesn't need to be setuid. If you intend to use startx(1) then X needs to be setuid for mortal users to be able to start it. To change the setting: make config in /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server and then reinstall the xorg-server port.
