Are you looking for ports or packages?  It is not clear from your
question.
If it is the ports you should find both XFree86 and Xorg in the ports
tree. (x11/XFree86-4 and x11/xorg respectively)

If it is the packages you are looking for I think you are out of luck.
Since Xorg is the default X variant on FreeBSD 5.3 all packages using X
are linked against and depend on the Xorg libraries.  I believe XFree86
is not even built as a package.

If you wish to use XFree86 you will have to compile it yourself via the
ports system, which should work fine - just remember to set
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xfree86-4 in /etc/make.conf if you do this.
