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"
EndSection
