Probably xdm config not done. Maybe modify your 
/usr/pkg/etc/xorg/xdm/Xservers with something like:

:0      local   /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/X

/etc/rc.subr is available at pkgsrc/pkgtools/rc.subr. Maybe sure it is 
installed to /etc/rc.subr or adjust your rc.d scripts to use the path to 
your installed rc.subr.

By the way, just because the rc.d script doesn't work doesn't mean you 
need to use a different package -- as you can always start it manually 
with smbd, nmbd, etc.

Sorry I don't know about that.
