It's not your window manager's job to provide a screensaver.  You
probably want to install xlock or xcreensaver, both of which are in
the Ports Collection.  You can also use xautolock with them, to
automatically start them when you become idle.

I don't know if there's a way to make the console screen savers work
in X.  I suspect that there isn't.
