Well, it's Linux's evdev, which is roughly similar to devd(8).  Likely 
that can be ignored on FreeBSD by just using another InputDevice 
section.  Beyond that, it might require input from the freebsd-x11 list 
and possibly also the freebsd-usb list.  If the components are there, it 
may be as simple as an x11-drivers/xf86-input-fujitsu-usb-touchscreen 
port.  Maybe one of the existing drivers there is for a relatively 
similar USB touchscreen?
