 From a freeBSD install/writeup I'm working on:

The fix for the wheel involved
setting an option or two:
    appending '-z4' to the moused command string in the "Mouse" section
    of /etc/usbd.conf
    New Line: attach "/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -I
    /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid -z4; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on"

and adding the following line to the InputDevice section of the 
XF86Config file:
     Option     "Buttons" "6"

See http://www.gsoft.com.au/~doconnor/x-wheel.html for further info or 
Google
for 'FreeBSD X wheel mouse' for further information.  This also allowed the
'wheel press' button to work as well.
