I'm not sure that bit about PS/2 mice not being configured automatically 
is true. I run 8.1-RELEASE-p1 on amd64 with a PS/2 mouse and my 
/etc/rc.conf contains

moused_enable="NO"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
moused_type="NO"

and X has no problem seeing the mouse. OK, I don't have a mouse in 
console mode, but that's a personal foible of mine. (Well, ASR33s didn't 
have mice did they? :-)
