When you moved the mouse, did you see any further messages?

Is it a "plain" MouseMan? Is it a serial model? If it is a
PS/2-port-only model or a PS/2-port and USB model, you cannot put it
to a serial port.
If it is a plain MouseMan (3 button mouse without a wheel),
find a label on the belly of the mouse. You sould find the model #
and description. If it says "Serial" or "Serial-MousePort", then
you can plug it to a serial port. If it says "MousePort", it is
a PS/2 model.
Once you are sure that it is a serial mouse, try the following
command ("auto" instead of "mouseman").
moused -p /dev/cuaa0 -d -f -t auto
Unless your MouseMan is one of very old models, moused should be
able to detect it is MouseMan.
