I've always built `x11-servers/xorg-server' with all HAL/UDEV/DEVD options
disabled and simply installed xf86-input-{keyboard,mouse}. Works perfectly
for me (and you don't need to configure anything, X.org is smart enough to
do the right thing by default).
Never saw the need for those options: new keyboards and mice are correctly
detected when plugged in.
That said, please do not remove those ports (individual drivers), there
are active users thereof.
