I'm running boinc-6.2.14 without X11 and ALT, currently with setiathome and
milkywayathome from ports.  There were some difficulties in getting work for
seti, especially astropulse units seem hard to get (I got 1 on a windows box).

For setiathome, there definitely should be an app_info.xml if you're
not using ALT.
Maybe (re)installing the astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced is enough (no support
for astropulse yet, but you can manually download a binary from www.dotsch.de
and update app_info.xml according to the instructions.

Regards,
Rene
