There doesn't seem to be one supplied with the x11/xdm port, so I guess you'll have to write your own. Shouldn't be too difficult -- just copy and mutate some other relatively simple daemon's rc script. I think you'll need to put in some work on the Xdm config files, as it defaults to trying to manage a local display. Remember too that running X in plaintext over a network is roughly on a par, security wise, as running such deprecated services as rsh or rlogin.
