They do not longer exist. The X command (to start X) has
the option -configure; it creates xorg.conf.new in the
current directory. This file can be the basis of further
customizing.
Keep in mind that - with modern hardware - you usually
don't need xorg.conf anymore.

Just run "X -configure" and you should have one. :-)

It's one of the valid locations, so: yes.
For a better explaination than mine, refer to the excellent
documentation in the FreeBSD handbook, ch. 5.4, to be found
