Sure... you'll want to install the XFree86-4-clients port, which
includes xdm.  Then adjust your Xservers file (and whatever other
files you need to), and you're ready to go.

You may want to install fonts and run a font server as well; that way,
your clients all have access to a variety of fonts without needing to
replicate them.

An idle X server doesn't take much in terms of resources.  (top shows
a lot, but most of that is the mapped memory to the video card.)  But
if you don't need it, you don't need it.
