Well, John is right, you should use Xorg from Dports to resolve this problem. At least I don't know a better method.
I had the same problem running X from GUI image of DFLY. As I figured out the GUI image built with Xorg from pkgsrc and it won't run on 3.4 image (I don't know why). So the best solution would install a base DragonFlyBSD image (not a GUI) and install X manually with the commands:
# pkg update
# pkg ins xorg-7.5.2
# pkg ins firefox-20.0,1
# reboot # probably not needed
# Xorg -configure
# cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# startx # will run X with simple twm
It should work pretty well. On previous DFLY 3.2 I had troubles viewing HTML5 videos and now it's almost perfect.
P.S. I wouldn't recommend installing Xorg from Dports on the GUI image of DragonFly. There are many graphical application that depend on Xorg from pkgsrc. It's a hell to resolve it all manually...
Regards, Dmitry.

DragonFly 3.4 with dports is always an option.
It has a much newer xorg server.
