1.) Why do you not install FreeBSD 6.2 if you are new?
2.) read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html

Well, it is hard to answer for as far back s 5.4.
I would suggest, if at all possible, to first download and burn
an install CD with 6.2 and then cvsup (csup) that to the latest
world and ports, build and install world and kernel and then try again.   

It is possible that the version of X you are getting is out of sync
with the OS you are using.   That is only one possibility among
others, but is one of the easiest to eliminate by bringing everything
up to date.   It then makes other possibilities easier to examine also.
