x11/dbus fails to build because X11/Xlib.h is missing. This is in the xshare51.tgz fileset.

The xbase fileset is needed to run packages, but in general, all of X should be installed before you begin to build ports.
Thanks for the information!

What would be the best or more appropriate way to install X11 post system install?

The OpenBSD FAQ suggests to use:

Code:
tar xzvphf x<...>.tgz
Taken from here: http://openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#AddFileSet

Then move to the appropriate location....

This is what I have done but I copied using cp -r instead.


Would doing something like:

Code:
rsync -avr --progress *
within the newly expanded X directories be a better idea?
