I went back to scratch 
rm -r /usr/X11R6
- Downloaded the tar.gz files from the ftp site
xarm33 xbase xcomp xcontrib xfont xserver
(seems to have changed a bit from my last download)
- Moved them into /usr/distrib using unixfs
- Made sure the directory X11R6 was there and there was 
a symlink from X11R6.3 to this
- unzipped them and untarred them
gzip -d /usr/distrib/xarm33.tar.gz
tar xpf /usr/distrib/xarm33.tar
and repeated for the others (xbase xcomp xcontirb xfont xserver)
- made sure I had an /etc/ld.so.conf file
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/lib
(Tried putting /usr/pkg/lib in that but had to take it out as the
directory did not exist and ldconf barfed)
- ran ldconf
- startx

:-) I got
startx

Check your kernel's console driver configuratiohn and /dev entries

I even rebooted and tried again, same result.

Suggestions?
