Funny, HAL is not needed for the generation of a static xorg.conf, either. Even Xorg
autoconfiguration works without HAL.
I have filed a bugreport, https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197411

That is incorrect.
HAL is only needed if you want to create an xorg.conf

Description :
This package contains the X.Org X server and some associated programs. What does FreeBSD recommend as a HAL replacement?
udev was the closest I
could find, and even then I had to implement huge chunks of HAL
functionality on top of udev, udisks, upower, etc. Surely they aren't
suggesting applications natively probe the hardware; that would be
ridiculous and never supported by TDE.

The handbook says: Xorg uses HAL.
