Wireless should not be an issue, it's just USB to the computer.  This is
what I've got for my USB mouse:

/etc/rc.conf:

usbd_enable="YES"

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option      "Protocol" "Auto"
	Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
	Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

That's it.  If I've done anything else, I've forgotten it.  The mouse
works both in X and in the console.
