FreeBSD has been using XFree86 up through 4.10 and 5.2; I believe the project 
will switch to using the X.org version by default for 5.3 and future releases. 
  XFree86 will be supported via ports.

Someone closer to the matter than I just posted a suggested change to the 
freebsd-docs mailing list with more details, so answers to your question are 
being actively considered now.  :-)
