You can install a GUI after installing FreeBSD.  If you choose this route
(instead of choosing to install X during the install), then I recommend
reading the FreeBSD Handbook section on X11:

It sounds like he wants more then just a GUI he wants a desktop in 
that case you should pick one of the following depending on your taste:


xfce4 (what I use)
gnome
kde
