Hello
    As you probably notice there are two different mouse configurations, 
one for the console and the other for X.
I remember reading that there is a conflict between the system mouse, 
moused and XFree86 4.x, I am not sure if it has been fixed or not. I 
would recommend keeping it disabled. (moused_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf)

Try
   $ dmesg | grep mouse
to see if you mouse is being recognized by the computer you should 
receive an output that looks something like this:
   $ dmesg | grep mouse
  psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
   $
Here is the section mouse of my XF86Config  file, it is for a ps2 three 
button mouse

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"          
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psm0"
EndSection

I hope this helps
