newb trying to install X on vbox - error1

Guys, installed FreeBSD on a vbox image (vbox hosted on Windows 7). Looking at instructions, I logged on as root, navigated to /usr/ports/x11 and executed [cmd=]make install clean[/cmd]

Took a very long time. FreeBSD install was from DVD iso, and I selected everything to install. I was a bit surprised at how much downloading took place - I assumed everything needed would be included. There were lots of ... "filename doesn't seem to exist in ...". Anyway, after a whole hour, I got the following:

Code: 
prototype mismatch: sub main::LC_ALL () vs none at /usr/local/lib/perl15/5.10.1/Exporter.pm line 67
gmake: *** [help2man.info] Error Code 1
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/misc/help2man
*** Error code 1

etc etc.

If I repeat the [cmd=]make install clean[/cmd] I then get:
Code: 
perl --with-gettext
Unrecognized switch: --with-gettext
gmake: *** [help2man] Error 255
*** Error code 1
Hoping some one could shed some light on this; thanks all.

That's not going to go well. /usr/ports/x11 is a category, so that will install every X11 port, not just the ones you might want. If you just want xorg, that would be /usr/ports/x11/xorg.
