FreeBSD does not neccessarially install X windows by default, and hence does
not have a default window manager like say RedHat which has developed thier
own cross of gnome and kde. When you install x.org <http://x.org> I belive
it will install twm as a default WM.

I would try using packages to install window managers while checking things
out. You really do not gain that much by installiing things like this from
ports performance wise (that is unless you are using aggressive compile time
optimizations or passing non-standard variables to configure), once you find
what WM you find most usable you can always remove the packages and install
your windowmanger of choice from ports.
