source operating system landscape." This document [.pdf] describes all the changes.

"It took a rather long time for FreeBSD to have a stable modular X.org version, while many Linux distributions already had a working X.org."
Well, it was a matter of doing the packaging work, not actually making it work on FreeBSD. The x11 team on FreeBSD is a bit short-staffed these days and this was a huge task to accomplish (from ~5 ports to ~150 AFAIR).
