I plugged the USB mouse from a Sun Blade 100 into my 4.3-RELEASE laptop to 
see what would happen, and it "just worked".

If you're doing this under X, you probably want to make sure you're using 
sysmouse; if it's set to use the PS/2 mouse directly then it will only use 
that and never notice the USB mouse.  Using sysmouse XFree86 happily used 
both the onboard PS/2 trackpad and the USB mouse while the latter was 
plugged in.
