You should not use application tags for the term "X" (server), it's not
an application but more a "family".  For example you will not write
<application>C compiler</application>, but
<application>gcc</application> is correct.

         <answer>
-          <para>To tell the port build to link to the &xfree86; 4.X libraries,
-	  add the following to <filename>/etc/make.conf</filename>, (if you 
-          do not have this file, create it):</para>
-
-	  <programlisting>XFREE86_VERSION=        4</programlisting>
+          <para>&os; versions prior 5.3 will use the default &xfree86;
+            4.X, while latter verions will default to &xorg;.
+            If you want to run different <application>X</application>

Same thing here.  <application>&xfree86;&nbsp;</application> and
<application>&xorg;</application> should also be used.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html

may be a good example on "X11 terms tagging."
