How can I install Xorg, if there is no internet connection ? I means
offline installation of Xorg ?
I got a lot error codes, relating to accessing the http sites. Please
advise. Thank you.

Is that means, the XFree86 should not install and run on my newly
installed FreeBSD 6.2-Release ?
Yes. You need to install xorg instead. You can use pkg_add -r xorg
which would be quicker than building the port. It's explained very
well in the handbook, which also tells how to configure it when
the install has finished:

There's also a section (5.7.3.1) on enabling The KDE Display Manager:
