moused_enable was "NO", and enabling it fixes the problem, allowing 
xorg-server to continue startup.

The new requirement for moused should be mentioned in 
/usr/ports/UPDATING.

The combination of moused disabled, hald, and xorg-server 1.4_7 
stops/locks on mouse detection and prevents keyboard console switching. 
That seems like a bug.

New xorg log XINPUT section:

(II) evaluating device (Keyboard0)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(II) evaluating device (Mouse0)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)
(II) Mouse0: SetupAuto: hw.iftype is 4, hw.model is 0
(II) Mouse0: SetupAuto: protocol is SysMouse, level is 1
...and continues on, unlike the earlier log.
