You can simply install X11 once more. You'll need to use /stand/sysinstall.
a) Select '6. Custom'.
b) '5. Media' this the place where you can choose between FTP, CDROM, ...
installation.
c) '4. Distribution'
c1) '8. Custom.'
c2) 'XFree86' <-- Select just this item and leave the menu twice.
d) '6. Commit'
And there you've got it done ;-) Your /usr/X11R6 subdirectory should
appear. You won't even lose XF86Config since it's in /etc and is not
modified by sysinstall.
