I first copied the /usr/X11R6 to /usr/X11R6-R3.
I then used the ports and installed XFree86-4.
The install replaced a lot of the files in /usr/X11R6
so I was glad I made a copy of the tree.  I also installed
the X11 wrapper.

I then used xf86config which set up a /etc/X11/XF86Config
file (R3 seems to use /etc/XF86Config).  When I "startx" my
desktop (wmaker) appears but I have no mouse.  I checked and
re-checked and my settings are correct. I tried /dev/mouse and
/dev/sysmouse both w/o success.

I renamed my new /usr/X11R6 to /usr/X11R6-R4 and set a
symb link of /usr/X11R6 to /usr/X11R6-R3 and did a "startx"
XFree86-3... started right up and I did have my mouse back.

Any thoughts on why XFree86-4 doesn't run my mouse?  Standard
PS/2 3 button mouse.
