I ftped FreeBSD 2.1.0-951026-SNAP and tared "bin", "src" and "xf86312" to a
SCSI tape and installed from the tape.

Some how the X Window did not get installed. Otherwise, the system
runs fine after I recompile the kernel.

How can I install the XFree86 without having to reinstall from
scratch? Any help would be appreciated.
