Have you read through the handbook, if not try this out:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ooks/handbook/

This should have all the info you need, but if you have a question, come back and we will try to help.

If you want a desktop computer install and configure XFree86 and a windowmanager.

If you are looking for a graphical login you can either login as root and type xdm (or kdm or gdm) and then login as your user. Or you can edit the /etc/ttys file and change one of the two lines that say xdm to on and then it will come up every time you boot up.
