Try installing the 'gnupg' package.

Install package 'lumina' and add "start-lumina-desktop" to your .xinitrc

The only DM I've ever used on FBSD is x11/slim and that seemed to work okay.

Unfortunately, I can't answer for other DMs, I just use the
old .xinitrc/startx approach on pretty much everything nowadays.

If you use a lot of environments, you could write a little dialog/text
selection script in your .xinitrc, but I imagine that isn't what you are
looking for.
