No it will not. Jordan Hubbard has stated that FreeBSD will probably
include XFree86 4 up around the 4.1 area, when it becomes more stable
and supports a reasonable subset of chips that 3.3.x supports.

This is a consequence of using an operating system that focuses on
stability...

All you have to do, though, is build XFree86 from the ports.
