I am not sure why you would want to put FreeBSD on the Mac. Mac is
already
FreeBSD. Most of the FreeBSD ports have been made available to the
Mac
through Macports. X11 comes with it, and Apple gives you access to
the
kernel source code.
If you must for some reason have FreeBSD, I recommend using a virtual
machine software such as VM Ware Fusion (the are cheeper when you
buy from
Amazon - about $60). It does work very well for me. Although I
use the Mac
OS for all my Unix needs, I have installed a Windows XP Pro 64 bit
for my
Windows need. You could create a Linux and / or FreeBSD virtual
machine.
The software will even download it for you.
I'm just a lurker, but even I know that only some of the userland
apps in OS X
are BSD-based. The kernel is mach microkernel based and not even
slightly
similar.
I don't think anyone is answering the OP's question, but put simply
Mac OS is
not BSD, and the X11 implementation is buggy to say the least. I
wouldn't
recommend it for most OSS stack dev work.
