 so i assume X is working on the server now (i don't have a monitor on the
 server) but i'm not getting a login prompt on my Exceed :(
 
 the xdm.log is empty so there are no errors reported by xdm.
 xdm is started properly from /etc/ttys
 
 i also rechecked the xdm config files (Xaccess, Xsession, xdm-config and
 others) and they are still correct.

Whoops. I thought that the X server and the client were on the same machine. 
I apologize.

The X server is the machine with the monitor. If there are two
different machines, then it looks as if the problem is with the
Exceed. That is where you need to look for locks and protection
issues. Make sure that you have run the xhost command (or the
equivalent on the Exceed) so that the Exceed allows clients running
on the FreeBSD machine (such as xdm and xterm) to display on the
screen of the Exceed.

 I've tried reinstalling exceed but that didn't help. I disabled the xhosts
 so that it will allow any client to display but that doesn't help either.
 I've also tried using X-Win32 on this system (and on my laptop) but that
 doesn't work either. It's very odd.

XFree86-4.+ has more security than the older versions of X. Instead of
disabling xhosts, try making sure that the FreeBSD server is explicitly
allowed to access the X server on your other machine.
