You can compile your ps/2 style mouse into your kernel, be sure to 
remove the word "disable":

device  psm0  at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr

Also make sure that moused (man rc.conf) isn't started :

ps ax | grep moused

if you want to run moused, cfg your mouse to run with moused
in /etc/XF86Config:

# *************************************************************
# Pointer section
# *************************************************************

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "MouseSystems"
    Device      "/dev/sysmouse"


Hope this helps,
