If you check out the handbook it states that the X installation has
been removed from the instalation setup (which frankly is not a big
issue for most users IMO due to the fact that few people would want to
run X on a server platform which I recon would be a majority of the
user base for FreeBSD).  In any event they point to directions here:

this should be outlined in the above doc.
