I have successfully upgraded 7.1-RELEASE TO 8.0-RELEASE and have

(Virtualbox) video card with 3D acceleration and with a good amount of
memory.

I have re-adjusted  the Virtualbox settings with 3D acceleration and
64MB of memory.  XFCE is currently running at 800x600 resolution, but
does not give me an option for any larger resolution.  How do I go
about reconfiguring my video card in FreeBSD 8.0, so I can run XFCE at
1280x720?

No experience with VirtualBox, but resolution is a function of the monitor. If VirtualBox doesn't pass the real monitor's resolution through to the emulated machine or let you set a size for an emulated monitor, you'll have to set it in xorg.conf. Probably with entries in both Monitor and Screen sections.
