Is this still a problem?  What versions of the X ports are you using? 
Does it freeze every time you run startx?  If so, what's in your
XF86Config (email it to me).  The xauth message probably isn't a problem
(and if you're freezing, it isn't *the* problem).  If you have a
/var/log/XFree86.0.log after rebooting, could you send it to me?
