A similar problem occured first time the -current kernel was installed with cvsup on my FreeBSD 4.1 system. The reason was a missing configuration file named driver.hints that obviously contains hardware settings. There is a complete template for that file as /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints. Copying that file as driver.hints into the /boot directory returned my keyboard to normal operation after the system was rebooted next time. I hope this helps to overcome the problem.
