This is a great suggestion:
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/icewm && make install clean
So I do all of the above in just one line then ? Also, since I am a newbie and will have just a basic install, how can I setup the PPP connection in FreeBSD from the command prompt ? Wouldn't this be needed to get ICEWM ?
Also, inorder to start ICEWM with startx, I need to make the following .ixintrc file (provided at end). In which directory should this be placed ? Will all these lines be OK or should I omit any of them ? Thanks.

The following is a (reasonable) .xinitrc file used as an example by Marko:
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# .xinitrc
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# run profile to set $PATH and other env vars correctly
. $HOME/.bash_profile
# setup background
xsetroot -solid '#056'
# setup mouse acceleration
xset m 7 2
# run initial programs
xterm &
# start icewm, and run xterm if it crashes (just to be safe)
exec icewm || exec xterm -fg red
