Of course. :-) I haven't done a fresh FreeBSD install for a while, but
I'm pretty sure the installation routine will prompt you for a choice of
window manager (e.g. KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment, and so on).  Not all the
window managers are listed there, so feel free to look in the "x11-wm"
category of the ports collection for more.

More information on the ports collection is at
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/>.  Each individual port should have link
to that port's main web page (e.g. <http://www.kde.org/>; tells you a lot
more about KDE, a very popular window manager).
