XFree86 is in 
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.2.1-release/x11/. There is 
in fact just one file to install if you want everything, XFree86-4.3.0,1.tbz.

You may also consider using Xorg, which is now the default windowing system 
for FreeBSD, and whose packages you can find in 
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/Latest/. Also, I 
personally only use the ports collection, which is always more up-to-date and 
(I think) easier to use. If you're impatient or have a slow computer, 
however, packages are better.
