Can you tell a bit more specific at what point things fail. Does 'startx' 
work? You can find documentation about installing and configuring X in 
Hanbook - The X Window System chapter:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html

Both GNOME and KDE also have some documentation specific to them:

http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/
http://freebsd.kde.org/

Perhaps those would be of help.
