    You didn't see it in the list because it's not there. The Radeon
    9600XT is not supported by the XFree86-4-Server port.

    You can probably just install the XFree86-4-Server-snap port, unless you
    have FreeBSD/amd64, in which case you'll need to hack up the
    XFree86-4-Server port, for which I have patches.
