No, FreeBSD prior to 5.3 had XFree86 as X-server, but since XFree86 
changed their licenses FreeBSD switched to X.org. If you installed X.org 
depends on what install you choose. If you choose 'minimal install' you 
don't have X.org installed ( if you didn't do it yourself later ) but if 
you choose 'X-user' or anything like that you do have X.org. You can 
check it by running 'pkg_info | grep xorg. If you get something like 
this you have installed X.org:

bash-3.00$ pkg_info | grep xorg
xorg-clients-6.7.0_4 X client programs and related files from X.Org
xorg-documents-6.7.0 Documentation of X11 protocol and libraries from X.Org
xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.7.0 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-encodings-6.7.0 X.Org font encoding files
xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.7.0 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-truetype-6.7.0 X.Org TrueType fonts
xorg-fonts-type1-6.7.0 X.Org Type1 fonts
xorg-fontserver-6.7.0 X font server from X.Org
xorg-libraries-6.7.0_2 X11 libraries and headers from X.Org
xorg-manpages-6.7.0 X.Org library manual pages
xorg-server-6.7.0_9 X.Org X server and related programs
