Did you configure and run the xdm(1) daemon? I don't want to RTFM you, but
have a look at the man page and the config files located under
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm and don't forget to start the daemon somewhere
(for example, /etc/rc.local) Then it should work without problems.
(Does an xdm login appear when you start an X server local on the FreeBSD
machine?)
