A port of xdl is now available.  You can get it from

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/graphics/xdl.tar.gz (source)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/graphics/xdl-2.1.tgz (binary)

and the corresponding directories on mirror sites.

This program will let you view DL animations on an X screen.  Several
fixes, including support of 16-bit displays and freeing pixmaps so
that your X server doesn't grow beyond all imaginations, were added by
me. :)

P.S. Note that the "source" above is actually the ports skeleton only;
     when you extract it on your machine (preferably into
     /usr/ports/graphics) 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.
