Is X installed?  Do:

pkg_info | grep xorg

to see.

If it is listed, it's installed.  The next step is to type:

echo $PATH

and see if the directory that holds startx is listed.  (should be
/usr/pkg/xorg/bin/ I think)

To actually start fluxbox, you need to create a .xinitrc file in your home
directory; these are the actual commands run when you type 'startx'.  When
the last of those commands exit, X stops.  You'll probably want the
command to start fluxbox in there, which I imagine is something like
'/usr/pkg/xorg/bin/fluxbox'.
