A port of xscreensaver is now available. You can get it from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/x11/xscreensaver.tar.gz (source)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/x11/xscreensaver-1.25.tgz (binary)
and the corresponding directories on mirror sites.
This version (unlike the old one for FreeBSD-1.x) supports 16-bit and
24-bit displays too. The MIT-SHARED-MEMORY extension support seems
broken, so it is disabled for now. I have contacted the original
author about this.

P.S. Note that the "source" above is actually the ports skeleton only;
when you extract it on your machine (preferably into
/usr/ports/x11) and type "make", it will automatically fetch the
original source and builds the program. Try "make fetch-list" if
you are not IP connected to obtain a list of files you need to
fetch.
