For the most part, to set up X, all you have to do is to install it and
follow some of the directions in the FAQ:
http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq/
As for getting color working, that depends on whether or not you're using
internal video or not. If you are, you'll have to wait a while, support
is in the works for it. If you are using external video, there is an LKM
and probably a few kernels that support color X. Check out the Meta-FAQ
for the location of (I think) the DORMOUSE kernels at Steve Brown's ftp site:

I hope this helps.
Later.
