I re-opened it after you pointed out that it's a generic problem:

"Again, I understand that Xorg/Xfree86 is no longer bundled with
FreeBSD, but the problem from the sounds of it was a logic issues
where if all of the components from X were deselected, X itself should
be deselected (or at least should be permitted to be deselected,
whereas sysinstall(8) didn't allow that). Other logic issues similar
to this may exist within the sysinstall(8) code, but until they crop
up, this item should remain closed."
