You don't - you can grab the packages and install them or use sysinstall
and do a Configure (post-install configuration) then add the X-3.3.3 or
whatever (3.3-RELEASE comes w/ 3.3.5).  

This is much quicker than building the port.

You can also just grab the packages you want from

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.2-RELEASE/XF86333

(if you want 3.35 change to 3.3-RELEASE/XF86335)
