I am trying to access either my xorg.conf or XF86Config file for
some general tweaking, e.g., adding to the fontpath, configuring for a wheel

the FreeBSD Handbook, they should be in either /etc/X11 or /etc. I have
both folders but the file is in neither. As a matter of fact, my /etc/X11
folder is empty.
Xorg looks in several locations, but /etc/X11 is the older setup. New
is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf. If you are still using XFree86 instead
of Xorg, your XF86Config file should be in the same directory.
As root, I ran find / -name xorg.conf and nothing was found.
That's odd. Xorg is pretty good about autoconfiguring, but I didn't
think it would run without any xorg.conf at all. If you don't have the
file, it can be created:
Xorg -configure
That creates xorg.conf.new in your current directory. Edit as required
and move to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.
