As David mentioned just last week:

   The "graphical" XFree86 configuration program -- XF86Setup program
   *requires* the VGA16 server.  This server does NOT build on the
   Alpha.  Not just FreeBSD/alpha, but AlphaLinux and Tru86 also.

   The issue with using the text-only xf86config is that it does not
   know about moused's sysmouse.  Thus you either cannot use moused,
   or you must hack the /etc/XF86Config file xf86config creates to
   specify sysmouse.


Sigh..
