I know this isn't strictly a Freebsd question.

I want to start up X in the background without it taking over the console.

Why not start if from another terminal? Say, press alt-F2, login there,
and then startx. Then, alt-F1 remains free.

Or perhaps use x11-servers/xorg-vfbserver.

I already do... I'm want to automate it. Every other virtual screen terminal can start without grabbing the console, I don't want X to either. I do development and I suffer crashes. I want to do work while it boots up for a couple minutes and I'm tired of manually switching back to text mode. It's gets annoying the 200th time.
