The question that has yet to be asked... are we talking about enabling
the mouse in X windows or in console?
For console all you need is 'moused_enable="YES"' in your /etc/rc.conf.
Enabling it across all local terminals doesn't work well for me as
the Mac's F keys don't work (for me) in VirtualBox.
For X windows, all I added was the hald_enable=YES and dbus_enable=YES
to my /etc/rc.conf. I did not need to install virtualbox additions or
any xorg.conf. I just did a fresh install (via pkg) of xorg & xfce4 on
a FreeBSD 10-R-p4 amd64 install in vbox on my mid 2011 iMac running
10.9.3 to verify this.
