AFAIK the usb keyboard menu was a 5.x thing, since then usb keyboards 
have become so common that usb keyboard support is included in the 
GENERIC kernel. The OP refered to 6.1.

If you don't want to include support in the kernel, just make sure to 
load the modules at boot, check loader.conf. If you installed the "with 
usb keyboard" then this might have been set for you.

Cheers, Erik
