It's not like installing Xorg will automatically get you 3D support.
I know of course. But DRM will be included in the next NetBSD release. AFAIk there is only limited 3D support with NetBSD today, but people working on it.

For some folks 3D acceleration is not important, but for me it is. I have here on my desktop freebsd 7.0 running with closed source nvidia driver, and it performs outstanding smooth, never had a problem with it. Hopefully open source drivers like DRI and nouveau become also stable as nvidia drivers. That would be a hugh step for BSD.
