No, that's bullshit. This is what my /etc/XF86Config file
looks like:
-----------------
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Microsoft"
Device "/dev/cuaa0"
----------------
My /dev/cuaa0 entry:
-----------------
crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 128 Sep 17 12:48 cuaa0
-----------------
My /etc/rc.conf entry:
---------------
moused_enable="NO"
moused_type="auto"
moused_port="/dev/cuaa0"
moused_flags=""
---------------
Test your rc.conf settings and bounce your box. moused should not
appear on ps. Test your mouse again with /stand/sysinstall.
sysinstall fires up your moused while testing, so kill it after
you exit sysinstall. Run xf86config again and make sure your
mouse points to /dev/cuaa0
This must work, really.
Good luck.

The box said "Requires Windows 3.1 or better"
... so I got BSD
