FreeBSD supports the mouse in your system, not x.  All xorg.conf is 
doing is telling x where the mouse is and how to talk to it.  You can 
use a mouse on the command line in FreeBSD to cut and paste.  That is 
just to cool.

Try this command:

$ dmesg | grep ums

Do you get a similar result as below?

ums0: Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM), rev 
1.10/3.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1
ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.

Also try this if yours is different:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
