The
xf86(4) driver is a fundamental requirement of X, not for any specific window manager or display manager. Turning off, or setting
machdep.allowaperature to zero, will make X unable to run at all.
The rationale behind requiring xf86 is a fundamental design flaw of X, but to their defense, it was difficult to come up with a generalized solution which would work across multiple Unix platforms & hardware.
