FYI, I've just committed autorandr to the ports tree:

https://www.freshports.org/x11/autorandr/

With autorandr you can first create a couple of profiles as described in the project's readme and 
then start the autorandr-launcher daemon to have the daemon watch for display connect/disconnect 
events. The daemon switchs between defined profiles when triggered by an event.


Best,
