We should clarify for satimis that he only needs to run an X11 server  
on the machine he is SSHing from.  The FreeBSD box does not need to  
running X11.

Personally, I haven't found a good way to work out the minimal X11  
installation needed for building and running clients (like Firefox)  
without ending up building and installing (and thus maintaining)  
stuff that I don't need (like an X11 server or window managers).  If  
I had a better handle on how to examine dependencies, I could  
probably do a cleaner installation.

Cheers,
