I just removed the XFree86-4 installation from my system and installed the /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 one instead. This one also does not provide a login prompt after installation and configuration of xdm. I recon that it must be a X / FreeBSD issue because it used to work on both my laptop and my workstation and now it doesn't work on both. If it is a windows issue caused by the crash that happend in my Exceed when my workstation lost its DHCP lease then it should still work on my laptop.
