If the shell on your auto-login account is /bin/sh, then you should put your X startup in .profile -- syntax is identical to the bash example you showed. If the shell on your auto-login account is /bin/csh or /bin/tcsh (which are really exactly the same thing on FreeBSD), then you should put your X startup in .login In this case the syntax is different, but you can copy wblock's example from the forum thread you referenced. Either of those shells should work.
