package install problem on 9.0

Hi all,
I installed 9-RELEASE on an SDD. Hadn't done one since 6.2 so the new
install process was... different.
Was surprised not to have the x-user type install scenario. Since the
handbook install doc says to use sysinstall for ports and packages, I
started up sysinstall and told it to install xorg-server, firefox,
thunderbird for starters. It claimed it installed, and pkg_info says
there's a boatload of stuff installed, but I can't find an X11 directory
or executables anywhere. Also can't find any distfiles. Previous X
installs started up the server and tuned it, but nothing happened in
that regard either.
clues?
Thanks,
Gary
