This is very different form Gentoo Linux where one compiles stuff all the time. It means that FreeBSD is not suitbable for me then.

This is FreeBSD. You have the choice: packages or ports. Freebsd-update or make world. But you must be ready to dig yourself out of a hole. X and everything around it should build just fine if your other ports, and the ports tree, are up to date. I rebuilt X and about 150 related ports about a month ago in a 32-bit -> 64-bit switchover. Took me the best part of a day, but everything works, as it has always done. If you managed to survive Gentoo, you should be able to survive FreeBSD. Because it
does have structure.
