In my case, it seems like restarting hald allows X to start up and find the mouse. Full details and logs in the "Strange keyboard/hald issues after upgrading to 9-STABLE and latest ports" thread. I see the current solutions suggest to disable hald, either by completely disabling it from X, or by "AutoAddDevices off". In my case, these are not solutions, as I rely on hald noticing when new keyboards and mice are added to the computer and making them available to X - I often dock and undock my laptop, the dock has two keyboards and two mice attached to it. I also don't fully understand what the problem is either. Earlier versions of hald/Xorg were capable of finding my mouse every single time they started up. These new versions do not seem fit for use.
