I'll add this information there as well (I should have thought about it last night). I don't know if that is enough though. This only affects a subset of graphical interfaces, most notably KDE and possibly xfce. I'll look into if it's possible to have libxkbcommon behave differently on FreeBSD 11. As noted previously in this thread, the xorg-server port has the devd option enabled by default on FreeBSD 11, as opposed to FreeBSD 12 and later where the default option is udev (evdev).
