I think using /dev/sysmouse without moused running is the way to go.
In general, moused should not be used.

If I remember correctly, mouse input in X is managed independently

X and the corresponding configuration file fragments that nowadays
reside in the /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory.
