Um... not by FreeBSD, at least.  "MPAREDES" needs to make sure the USB
daemon is running by modifying /etc/rc.conf to include

usbd_enable="YES"

usbd will automatically handle mice (by running moused, AFAIR, so you
don't need a moused_enable entry in /etc/rc.conf).  Of course, you also
need a kernel with the USB stuff.  GENERIC has it.
