ports? What?

If the /usr/X11R6 dir doesn't exist, he needs to get the X distribution sets
(xbase??.tgz, xetc??.tgz, etc) and look at:

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#AddFileSet

If it does exist, he needs to a) read the FAQ, there are several parts about
X and b) if none of them help, be more specific on how it doesn't work.

Once X is installed any X apps wanted can be installed from packages or
ports in the normal way.
