1) xf86cfg has been known to coredump in FreeBSD. This may be the same problem (it sounds just like what I've been getting trying to configure XFree86-4.1)
2) Have you tried just running XF86Config on the first machine? It's a bloody pain, I admit, but it might do ya.
Personally, I have had nothing but ill luck with 4.1 and am planning on deinstalling and going back to good old 3.3.6, but I wish you the best of luck...
