Sure. Just
cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers
make config
Select the drivers you want (and deselect those you don't want)
<TAB><Enter>

That is it. The options are "sticky and should remain unchanged unless
you 'make rmconfig' or a port update changes them.

As for startx,
# pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/startx
/usr/local/bin/startx was installed by package xinit-1.0.7
