Good choice - here on a long-running regular workstation.

Three steps:
1. Get X (itself) working
2. Install WindowMaker and its dependencies
3. Make your user account a .xinitrc or .xsession
(depends on if you use xdm or startx command)
See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html
Example for ~/.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $
[ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
xrandr --fb 1400x1050
xrandr --size 1400x1050
xsetroot -solid rgb:3b/4c/7a
xset b 100 1000 15 &
xset r rate 250 30 &
xset s off &
xset -dpms &
exec wmaker
The last line will "transfer control" to the WindowMaker program.
Then, configure WindowMaker to your needs.

Any dependencies should be recursively by portmaster (as it does
per portmanager, port's make install, and even pkg_add -r).
