"xvgr" is in the ports collection.  As far as I know, the only
difference between xmgr and xvgr is that the former uses Motif, and
the latter uses xview.

I personally rely on Gnuplot for most of my plotting requirements.
The version in the ports collection has convenient features like the
ability to least-squares fit your data to a nonlinear function.
