No, this isn't needed for desktop environments that have their
own _enable flag for /etc/rc.conf (same for display managers).
In ye olden days, /etc/ttys contained a line like

	ttyv8   "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"   xterm   on   secure

to start xdm. Things like gdm or slim do not require this anymore.
And probably nobody (except maybe me) uses xdm nowadays... ;-)
