Well, you need to find the connector for the other serial port, and
then modify your configuration files to point to it. In
/etc/XF86config you look for the line which looks like:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseMan"
Device "/dev/ttyd0"
Change this last line to:
Device "/dev/ttyd1"
For moused, look for this line in /etc/rc.conf:
mousedport="/dev/cuaa0" # Set to your mouse port (required if mousetype set)"
Change it to
mousedport="/dev/cuaa1" # Set to your mouse port (required if mousetype set)"
