Hmm, this is what I get upon disconnecting/reconnecting my receiver:

-----------------
May  9 10:00:10 econ22 kernel: ukbd0: at uhub3 port 1 (addr 2)
disconnected
May  9 10:00:10 econ22 kernel: ukbd0: detached

I found some references (I believe on freebsd-current from January, look
for "usb mouse support update plans") to a mouse showing up as a uhid
device instead of ums -- apparently, it may not be reporting itself as a
kind of mouse the USB mouse driver understands so it falls through to the
uhid device.

I'm not sure if you ever said, but are you on 6.0-RELEASE or something
newer?  I upgraded to 6.1, which fixed a lot of other unrelated things for
me.
