Update Question 11.6:

- Add X.Org installation from packages
- Add a paragraph about X.Org installation from sysinstall(8)
- Rewrite the paragraph about xorgcfg(1) to fit into the
  modified answer (suggested by trhodes)
- Remove last paragraph about Xi Graphics since they have
  no FreeBSD support anymore
