I'm wondering if you have some mixture of baselayout versions on that

Unlikely: this box has been ~amd64 since before it had a complete
system.
Could your machine be trying to start something other than kdm by
mistake? I.e., maybe you are starting kdm for the first time from
the VT instead of re-starting it?
Also unlikely.
I tried taking xdm out of the default run-level and calling both it and
xdm-setup in /etc/conf.d/local. It started up ok then.
That experiment still makes me suspect something in /etc is wrong. I'm out
of ideas except to search through /etc for files with old dates.

Eh? Don't know that one.
Scientific Wild-Ass Guess.
