.. If I do 

SELECT program_name, port_path, cool_graduation FROM
Freebsd_Available_Ports WHERE uses = 'screensaver' ORDER BY
cool_graduation;

I get more than one line ;)

Personally xscreensaver is too heavy for me. I use xautolock to fire
slock (both in ports and share the first position on the query). In my
fluxbox startup file (similar on other window managers) I have:

xautolock -time 1 -locker slock &

Where 1 is 1 minute and slock blocks X until enter user password. You
can execute slock directly 

%slock 

to lock X window.
