If you plan to use the Xorg synaptics driver you *must* remove
moused_enable from rc.conf, Xorg can't use the synaptics mouse if the
moused already sits on the /dev/psm0 device. This is not really well
documented, tough.
I've sent a PR to document pkg-message for xf85-input-synaptics but it has
never been checked, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/148591
See the documentation in the patch.txt, it should works.
