Nowhere. All you have in the source code and base system, on a disc1/DVD or system disk is a /etc/defaults/rc.conf. It's tar-ed and stored in the src and base directories.

Are you asking how to run a window manager when FreeBSD boots? If that's the case you have to use a Display Manager. Check the handbook for more information.

Supported hardware is listed here. Execute dmesg to see what hardware is being recognized on your machine, or press scroll-lock and use the up/down arrows to read the setup startup messages. Some module device drivers must be started and configured by adding entries to /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf.

Packages and ports are third-party applications. The FreeBSD setup doesn't install any of them unless you check them inside sysinstall.
But it's better to install these after the setup is completed. Again check the handbook.

There are a couple ways you could do this.

you could write a script to use the pkg_add system to install everything you want.

or

you could use ports (this is much slower but i'm a big fan of ports and use it for almost everything)

or, you could create your own FreeBSD install dvd but i have no idea how this would be done...it won't be easy.
