Well, no, actually.  :-)
You don't need to install XFree86 to get into FreeBSD.

As you've noticed, Windows doesn't understand the filesystem FreeBSD uses. 
Don't boot into Windows, boot into the FreeBSD partition.

It's probably easier to use /stand/sysinstall to install X11 via prebuilt 
packages (either via FTP or from the installation CD), but you can also do 
something like:

cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
make install

...and build and install X yourself (but this will take quite a bit of time).
