I had a problem like this when setting up a machine for a friend.
This is the config that ended up working:

In kernel config:
device	psm0	at atkbdc? irq 12
[same as GENERIC]

In /etc/rc.conf:
moused_type="auto"
moused_enable="YES"

In XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "Mouse1"
	Driver	"mouse"
	Option	"Protocol" "Auto"
	Option	"Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection

[the capital "A" had me stumped for a while :) ]

If you're not using XFree86 4.X try:

Section "Pointer"
	Protocol "PS/2"
	Device   "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
