Are you sure about this? I was under the impression that XFree86 was
deprecated, and Xorg preferred; further, that this translates into
Xorg being the default.

See UPDATING in /usr/ports:

20040723:
  AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of xorg
  AUTHOR: anholt at FreeBSD.org

  The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by
  the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg,
  xfree86-4, or xfree86-3.  X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on
  FreeBSD-current.
