My two cents in here real quick, what does:

pkg_info | fgrep XFree86

give?

pkg_info | fgrep XFree86

XFree86-libraries-4.2.1_6 XFree86-4 include/(shared) library kit
imake-4.2.0_1       Imake and other utilities from XFree86

First of all you probably need to install:

XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.2.0 XFree86-4 default bitmap fonts

to deal with the explicit problem on your X startup.

Though this may not work as you also want the following packages:

XFree86-Server-4.2.1_7 XFree86-4 X server and related programs
XFree86-clients-4.2.1_2 XFree86-4 Client environments
XFree86-font100dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 100 dpi fonts
XFree86-font75dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 75 dpi fonts
XFree86-fontEncodings-4.2.0 XFree86-4 font encoding files
XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Scalable font files
wrapper-1.0_2 Wrapper for XFree86-4 server
freetype2-2.1.3_1 A free and portable TrueType font rendering engine

Some aren't strictly necessary, but...

If you are in a rush you could install these one by one (starting with
default fonts) until you are up and running

otherwise make install clean deinstall everything you 'think' you have
and
start from scratch.

Okay, well I've made some progress, but still can't get gdm/gnome
running with 2.2.

I've fixed my XFree86 install, and I have 4.2.1 running. All of the
ports mentioned above are installed. I am able to run xf86cfg
graphically and configure, and I can run X using startx, which loads
fine.

However, when I do:

sudo /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start

I get:

Feb 13 01:28:56 lilbuddy gdm[15381]: Failed to start the display server
several times in a short time period; disabling display :0

I would need to see the X log to know if it's a gdm problem.  However,
I've never tried starting gdm under sudo.

Well, the same behavior occurs if I just restart the machine and let the script be triggered normally, so I doubt that sudo has anything to do with it. Also, I successfully started gdm many times this way under gnome 2.0.

I have posted /var/log/:0.log and var/log/XFree86.0.log here:

Thanks.
