When you plugin your USB mouse, is any moused corresponding to ums0 gets
started, hmm...:

abbe [~] monte-cristo% ps -A |grep moused |grep ums0
 1280  ??  Ss     0:00.00 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I
 /var/run/moused.ums0.pid
----8<----8<----

If not, then make sure you've moused is enabled in your /etc/rc.conf.

If yes, then create an xorg.conf using Xorg -configure and make sure it
has following into it:

---->8---->8----
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "SysMouse" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "SysMouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
