You need to run xdm or Xwrapper. I use xdm myself, as the man page
for xdm set everything up (except for the path names, they are
wrong, you need to change them). Look at the pkg-message file in
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4, it will tell you why startx only works
as root.

You will need to create a .xsession file for each user, and
put that file in their home directory.
