I'm guessing here since it's not clearly documented, but it looks like
you can do this:

moused_ums0_flags="-m 1=3 -m 3=1"
moused_ums1_flags=""

to give moused different flags depending on which device it's
controlling ( for usb mice, moused is launched via devd, and you can
see in /etc/devd.conf it passes the devicename to /etc/rc.d/moused ,
which then reads the appropriate rc.conf entries ).
