Seamless mouse does work, but AFAIK requires an xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
 	Identifier "xfce"
 	InputDevice "Mouse1"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
 	Identifier "Mouse1"
 	Driver "vboxmouse"
EndSection

Tested on FreeBSD 9-stable amd64 host, VirtualBox 4.1.10, FreeBSD 
9-stable i386 guest, virtualbox-ose-additions 4.1.10.

That's for an xserver without HAL, maybe with HAL it will autodetect.

The first couple of clicks after startup seem to get lost, but otherwise 
it works.
