Xorg uses hal on kfreebsd. The hal version in experimental (0.5.14-4), which will be uploaded to sid after the squeeze release, will use D-Bus activation, to start hal on demand. So even on kfreebsd it should be safe to remove it then. FWIW, the D-Bus activated HAL version is in unstable/wheezy now. It's not in squeeze though, so removing the Should-Start from xdm.init at this point would break partial upgrades.
