I have the X server up and running on my machine at work, I'm currently using it in a desktop configuration (although not my primary desktop yet because I still need to have a place to finish off some kernel optimizations). The first patch is against ports/x11/XFree86-4-libraries: http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/amd64-libraries.diff The second is against ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-server: http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/amd64-server.diff You need to patch both, because the imake config files come from the libraries port and is used in the server build. I've submitted these to the port maintainer, so hopefully something might get committed soon. Most of the rest of the diffs are to either add amd64 support to the FreeBSD configuration, or to fix XFree86 bugs where they assume that all amd64 systems are implicitly Linux based. These patches are very minimal and really need somebody with more knowledge of the XFree86 internals to go over them. But it should be enough to get up and running to play around with it. I'm using a MGA G450 at work FWIW.
