XFree86 was tightly integrated with NetBSD kernel. NetBSD has switched to FreeBSD model when they switched to XOrg on selected architectures.
During FreeBSD installation you can select X. The problem is that version of XOrg is as stable as vanilla XOrg so most users opt out and install the latest and the "greatest" version of XOrg from ports.
