You first need to configure moused(8), this works for most PS/2 mice:
# moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto

Use this command before you start Xorg, if it works, you should be able to see the mouse pointer move.

Once moused works, you can add this to /etc/xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"Protocol"	"Auto"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/sysmouse"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"False"
EndSection
to make the changes persistent across boots, add this to /etc/rc.conf:
Code:
moused_enable="yes"
