Not directly; when you run startx it will run an X server on the
freebsd box and that will only display stuff on a directly connected
monitor..

What you need to do is run an X server on the windows machine, then
set the DISPLAY environment variable on the freebsd box to something
like "windowsbox:0.0" (or tunnel it through ssh).  The only x server
for windows I know of is eXcursion, but there may be others.
