I just realized I did not answer you question. If you are building X make sure 
you use the xorg port that includes all the necessary  parts. I prefer:

setenv PACKAGEROOT ftp://ftp<n>.FreeBSD.org
pkg_add -r xorg

This will work. If you want to build X from source include the tail of the build 
and you can probably get specific suggestions. All my workstations are far to 
slow/small to make this an option for me. Sorry - I think I missed the boat with 
my first post.
