Gentoo Linux to FreeBSD

FreeBSD 5.3 uses Xorg, so you shouldn't have much trouble.
If you're using proprietary binary drivers in Linux, you might have to change the driver in the device section.
The mouse configuration will be different. I think you'll want to use the SysMouse protocol rather than ExplorerPS/2, and /dev/sysmouse rather than /dev/input/mice.
In the end you might be better off just letting xorgcfg handle things.
