Thank you all for your suggestions.
I had already enabled

"gdm_enable=YES"

in /etc/rc.conf but still no change
I also tried the

Edit /etc/ttys like this:
ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/sbin/gdm -nodaemon" xterm   on  secure

but it did not start after reboot. There was an error about 
not finding something (sorry i did not keep the error).
So I thought to "make install clean" from the ports again.
Now I m waiting for it to finish (takes a lot of time...)
and see it again.
I did that also because I did not find   the script
installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/

I'll keep you informed.
