This is pretty old so I hope you got an answer to this. Just in case:
There are 3 ways I know of:
1) rc.d script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
2) /etc/ttys
:
ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
:
3) There is an X-wrapper port to allow X to be started by a user. I have not
used this one.
I use 1 and 2 on various machines. The only thing agains #2 is that you can not
shutdown X. You will have much better luck with this in the questions mailing
list.
