From the 5.3-REL Errata file :

(31 Oct 2004, updated on 5 Nov 2004) For FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64, when 
installing FreeBSD 5.3 using an USB keyboard the keyboard will stop working 
once the kernel boots, because a PS/2 keyboard is always considered to be 
attached. As a workaround, select ``Escape to loader prompt'' in the boot 
loader menu and enter the following lines at the prompt:

set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"
boot

Note that if you use the boot floppies, this is set by default.

After the installation, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf:

hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"

I'm having the same problem...
Hope this helps ;-)
