I installed FreeBSD to another partition, so I could check it out.
I selected All sources and binaries and KDE4.

When I tried startx, it complained that it didn't exist.
It's just a script, so I copied it over from my 7.2p5 partition.
Now it complains that xinit doesn't exist.

Why didn't these two get laid-down by the install??
