 Keep in mind FreeBSD is predominantly a server OS so unless you specifically 
ask it to bring up a GUI, it wont. If you have installed Xfree86 and 
configured it , you should be able to type startx and it should bring up your 
GUI. However avoid using X windows as a root, do it as a user.

If you want a better looking GUI, choose a desktop or a windowmanager. I use 
KDE, it looks very pretty. However there are many others. www.kde.org has 
screenshots.
