OK, I installed 'tightvnc' from ports. That went OK.
Then, I started the process by entering: 'vncserver' at the command
prompt on the FBSD machine. The first time this ran it asked for
information which I provided. Now when I invoke it, it runs silently.
This is the contents of the log file it creates.

I have the following in the 'putty' configuration
Under SSL / X11, I have this:
X Display location: localhost:0
I have tried with both: Enable X forwarding checked and unchecked
without any difference.
Under SSH / Tunnels, I have this:
L5905 192.168.0.2:5901
I am not sure about the port # 5905. I simply copied it from a example I found.
I have tried 5901, 5900 and 5902 all without success.
There is no notification when I actually log onto the remote machine
other than what I normally receive. If I try: 'startx', all I get is a
lot of text output on the screen, although the application does start on
the remote PC.
Now, I can make a connection via HTTP and do get a login box. In fact,
that seems to be the only way I can make a successful connection.
Therefore, I am positive the VNC is working, just not with putty.
Obviously I am doing something really stupid.
Thanks!

You have to connect to a VNC server with a VNC client ( Windows tightVNC
client is available from http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html ). Notice
that by default you won't have encryption so you might want to use putty
to create an SSH tunnel for your traffic ( See the tunneling section in
putty )
