I had a problem like this as well when I wasn't using /dev/sysmouse as my mouse driver way back in FreeBSD 4.3 or 4.4... I don't remember which. Make certain your configuration uses the native FreeBSD mouse driver and that moused is running. I know its a weird solution but it really worked for me back then and may work for you now... give it a whirl.
