I managed to get my wheel working in xorg, but this required disabling
it for the console. This is a sub-optimal solution, but it works for me
because I don't often want to use the mouse in the console---sometimes I
would like to but I didn't want to fight with it anymore. Here is what
I did:

comment out moused stuff in /etc/rc.conf:
#moused_enable="YES"
#moused_port="/dev/psm0"
#moused_type="intellimouse"

and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
   Identifier  "Mouse0"
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option      "Protocol" "auto"
   Option     "Device" "/dev/psm0"
   Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I think you are trying to get a USB mouse working (am I remembering that
correctly?) In any case I am using a ps/2 mouse, I don't know if that
makes a difference for the "Option     "Device" "/dev/psm0"" line. 

As I mentioned before this will make the mouse non-functional in the
console (still works in xterm thought).
