A few years ago I created a ctwm.desktop (somewhere, I forget where), and was able to use GNOME || CTWM with gdm. I cobbled together a kde.desktop and then was able to run KDE using gdm as well.

You can use kdm (KDE) or gdm (GDM), they're display managers that allow you to log into different sessions/desktop environments. you may install /usr/ports/x11/gdm and put the following line in your /etc/rc.conf file: gdm_enable="YES" GDM will be started automatically when you boot next time.
