Correct me if I am wrong here, but isn't mwm a COMMERCIAL window manager, 
aka Motif Window Manager??  IF so, it has been ported but it costs $$$.  
I think the FAQ had a company selling motif stuff for *BSD.

Twm is awful IMHO ;)  I have hacked around fvwm to give me a quasi SGI 4d 
feel, its not the best but it works.
