I resolved this by _NOT_ installing the X Window distribution sets; but installed XFree86 4.x from the packages at the end of the installation process. I then followed the guidance in the FreeBSD Handbook, which worked very well. "5.4.3.1 Configuration with Intel i810 Graphics Chipsets" can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html (Sorry for the long url. I hope it wraps correctly.)
