have you tried this:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html


My usual configuration steps are:

1)  XFree86 -configure
2)  edit the XF86Config.new to put in the mouse information
      (i use device "/dev/psm0" and type "auto")
3)  Try it again:
      XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new
4)  repeat until it works
5)  post specific excerpts from /var/log/XFree86.0.log and/ or
      XF86Config.new if you have problems
