This is what I have in rc.conf

moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
moused_flags=""
allscreens_flags="-m on"

When logged on as root and edit file with ee /var/log/ppp.log 
the mouse will not cut or copy and past using the 2 button mouse.
I even entered vidcontrol -m on  on the command line.

There no error messages, it just will not work. The FAQ says it should.

What kind of mouse do you have?

If it is a serial mouse, chances are you want:
        moused -p /dev/cuaa0

If it is a PS/2 mouse:
        moused -p /dev/psm0

If it is a USB mouse:
        moused -p /dev/ums0

You don't normally need to specify a type. Automatic detection works
better than anything else most of the time. Just make sure you specify
the correct port, as above.

If that doesn't work, send us some more detailed information about
your setup, including dmesg output, mouse brand/type, what you've
tried, and specifically what is not working, including any error
messages you receive. Simply saying "it doesn't work" is not typically
the path to a quick resolution. :-)
