It doesn't. If you have a serial mouse on sio0/COM1 and are installing X as
recommended, you make the symlink yourself:
ln -s /dev/cuaa0 /dev/mouse
Then specify the Device as "/dev/mouse" in XF86Config.
Optionally you can dispense with that and just put /dev/cuaa0 as the Device.

Protocol "Microsoft"
Device "/dev/cuaa0"
