I believe Xorg should work on this hardware.  We've recently done quite 
a bit of work getting our DRM drivers in sync with Linux. Please check 
out the recently updated wiki here:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Intel_Integrated_Graphics_.28aka_HD_Graphics.29

I would suggest first installing the "drm-kmod" and following the 
instructions to see if works on your end.  If that fails, uninstall 
"drm-kmod" and install "drm-legacy-kmod" which includes older DRM code 
that may work better on your hardware.

Also, freebsd-x11@freebsd.org is a good mailing list to join.

Hope this helps!
