I had a similair problem during installing. In my case, debconf could not be configured, which was needed for configuring the xserver-package. This happened, because perl wasn't installed correctly. Package "perl-5.6" was installed, but apt-get missed the package "perl-5.6-base". Try installing "perl-5.6-base" and then run "dpkg --configure debconf" to configure debconf and then try installing XFree86 again. hth, Holger -- Holger Mense
