I have X11 more or less running on fresh -CURRENT. However, I don't have
HW acceleration (I've reported it previously on the list couple of times:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/2014-March/006914.html).

Why did you need to uncomment "NoAccel"?

I have Option "UseFBDev" "false" here in mine; you might also need it; while
X.org will complain that "Option "UseFBDev" is not used" in the log, I still
think it helps (at the early stage?) to select correct video device (e.g. ATI
driver vs. framebuffer mode).
I also had to specify exact modeline for my LCD monitor in "Monitor" section
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/2014-March/006916.html), but
that might be due to adapter usage.
Do you have set sysctl hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap=1? (It's hard to tell without
seeing your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.) Nathan is right; you should start a few
different programs in ~/.xinitrc that create windows, e.g:
xterm &
xclock &
exec openbox
./danfe
