This also enable a mouse wheel if you have one.
This is my setup:
/etc/rc.conf:
moused_flags="-a .4"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
/etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option
"ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
