No, I said I was using the XSVGA server for my
particular video card.  You need to use the 
Xserver that's designed for your card.

No, the SVGA Xserver works only for some cards.
S3 cards, for example, use the S3 Xserver.

It currently has my settings: 800x600x8 and 640x480x8.  
But you can change it to whatever you like.

I ran xf86config and input the parameters for my
card and monitor (which are both pretty low-end).

It includes everything required (except for the
Xserver package itself).  I've just done the 
following and it works fine:
-----------------
unzip a fresh BL3
boot it 
pkg no-vesa.tgz
pkg xsvga.tgz
startx
-----------------

Cheers,
Steven
