I went through a very similar situation earlier today, where the X log file reported that mouse and kbd modules were not found. A bit of dragging through the ports tree, and I found that they are installed as ports in their own right these days. I'm not certain why they didn't get installed as part of the huge Xorg upgrade as detailed in UPDATING, but installing them by hand made the errors go away. So, the moral of the story is, I suppose, if you're happy that all your paths are correct in your xorg.conf, and that you have followed Kris' upgrade instructions, try looking for an individual port that installs the missing module.
