Does /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket exist and is it  a socket file or
a  regular file?

$ ls -l /var/run/dbus
total 2
-rw-r--r--  1 root  messagebus  5 Feb  9 19:08 dbus.pid
srwxrwxrwx  1 root  messagebus  0 Feb  9 19:08 system_bus_socket

This warning can be ignored.

Make sure that hal_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES" are in
/etc/rc.conf. Also check that they are running:

$ ps -ax | grep -e dbus -e hal
 1954  ??  Is     0:00.06 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system
 2127  ??  Ss     0:15.15 /usr/local/sbin/hald
 2131  ??  IW     0:00.00 hald-runner
 2136  ??  IW     0:00.00 hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/psm0
(hald-addon-mouse-sy)
 2144  ??  S      0:11.07 hald-addon-storage: /dev/acd0 (hald-addon-storage)
24129   8  S+     0:00.00 grep -e dbus -e hal

Run hal-device and check if your mouse/keyboard are being ignored.  If
they are being ignored, check the files under /usr/local/etc/hal and
/usr/local/share/hal to see if  you had created a file in there to
ignore the mouse/keyboard.

find /usr/local/share/hal -exec grep -H ignore {} \;
find /usr/local/etc/hal -exec grep -H ignore {} \;

If your still having problems then post the output of  hal-device and
Xorg.0.log from your system running xorg 7.4.
